Their story came to light today
when they told Maj. Robert Gish
of Laramie, Wyo.. of their forced
labor and the brutality of the
Nazis - including whippings and
solitary confinement for slow
workers or those who tried to
escape.
Most of the girls, who were
strong. sturdy peasants, were
forced TO unload ammunition and
other heavy material after being
taken prisoner in the Dnieper and
Petrovsk sectors. They were
transported to Germany in cattle
cars during trip which lasted
more than two weeks.

HERDED IN CATTLE CARS

They were given virtually NO
water and only black bread on
their journey.
Six died en- route 10 the Reich;
three others died during their in
ternment from overwork.
SeVenteen-year-old Lydia said
every one up to 60 from those
areas was taken 10 Germany.
Those who refused 10 leave were
shot and their houses burned.
The girls liberated at Stras-
bourg were unmarried. but at
another camp just across the
Rhine were married women who
had NOT seen or had word con-
corning their children for nearly
three years.
The girls worked - hours daily
and then were herded into a
barbed wire enclosure under
guard Of gestapo agents and po-
lice dogs.
PUNISHED FOR ESCAPE
When six girls escaped the en-
tire camp was put into solitary
confinement for two weeks with
food and water but NO sanitary
provisions. None told the Ger
mans, however, how the escape
was made.
Those who made good their
escape got word 10 the camp
when the Americans neared the
city and plans were made for
offering resistance to the Germans
when liberation approached.
The girls said the Germans
acted like scared dogs" when
American bombers came over.
The Germans locked them all in
barracks and took the under
ground shelters themselves.
OF the doughboys, the girls
said:
american soldiers are very
handsome, very gsy-and very
mischieyOlIs."

A rainstorm is a favorite setting
for love scenes, because Of that inti-
mate feeling produced by the rain
shutting out the world OF everyday
things.
1t can prove to be too noisy for the
cameras, though. as Irene Dunno
and Charles Boyer found out in
scene for Romance" In a sculptor's
studio, with the rain beating against
the skylight, and the two making
love, the scene looked fine, but no
matter how little water was thrown
on the skylight, it registered like a
torrent and the dialogue was
dorwned out Propmen changed
the angle of the skylight from As
to 80 degrees and the rain changed
to a dulcet murmur.
