the conclusion during which 10000 civilians
udged port leaving behind 1000 Germans
ordered to fight to the last and cartridge.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-10-01

Covered by a tremendous air
and artillery barrage, the Cana
dams launched the attack
promptly at noon when the truce
expired. Early this morning head
quarters announced the Canadians
had penetrated into Calais and
that enemy resistance was not
expected TO last much longer.
German prisoners were reported
streaming into the Canadian lines
by the hundreds.
The truce was arranged Fri
day between the German COM
mander, Col. Schroeder. and a
British general, beside a demol-
iShed bridge eight miles from
Calais. The colonel, newly arrived
al Calais, was surrounded by a
staff of smartly uniformed Of
ficers. One had a wooden leg,
another an arm missing; a third
an ear dishgured from battle
burns.

Schroeder said, as he saluted
the British general.
IL wish you to know that I
have received orders from my
fuehrer 10 fight to the last man
and that il what y intend to do.
The sole reason for suggesting
this truce II to find a way of
evacuating the civilian pOpuIa-
ton"
The truce was agreed upon.
As the meeting broke up. the
British general said:
We'll, colonel. hope YOU will
enjoy tomOrrow's lombard
ment."

Schroeder smiled. shrugged his
shoulders and replied:
"C'est Ia guerre."
a few minutes later. the evacu-
alton began. The long. pathetic
line of men, women and children
carrying house h o d treasures
stretched five miles down the
Calais-Ardres road. Many showed
pushcartS laden with beds, dishes
pots and pans.
a few civilians were evacuated
in a handful of German and
French aInbulances. The Germans
provided 20 10 80 trucks and cars
to speed the evacuation.
