J CehoslOyacka

Vest (AP) IL Londona cd II,
maja iavlja da poslednji ostatci
nemackih trupa, koje Sc nisu jos
predale, u cehoslovackoj, pro-
duzuju oruzani otpor sovjetskoi
vojsci i dale. Opkoljeni u tex
5000 cetvornih milja teritorije.
stotine hiljada nemacke vojske
koja je odbila predaju, produza-
va sa ration kao Ola isti nije u
opste priveden kraju. l posto Sc
nece da predaju, sovjetske tru-
pc SUI otvorile ponovnu ofenzivu
ma te nemacke ostatke.
Verovatno ola Sc tamo nalazi
najvise nacistickih pacova, II
ratnih zlocinaca, koji ne ocekuju
nista dobrog cd predaje i take
nastoje da izginu radje u bitci
nego da i'm sude saveznici, iii
mase, kao sto je bio slucaj So
Mussolinijem. Ovo je ocito pla-
nomerno samoubilstvo posled-
Nth ostataka nemackih trupa.
Razlog bi mogao biti jedan Cd
diva, iii oba: jedan, da SUI gotovi
umreti, posto je uvredjen me
mack ponos' a drugo, ogromnl
broj nacistickih pacova nagnani
u tesnac, znajuci da &c i ovako
i onako morati platiti Sd svojom
kozom, nastoje da sve ono vojske
sto i'm je JOS u rukama izgine
S NINA zajedno.
Ovo nije najbolji komplinae
nat "a obicne nemacke vojnike
koji Sc jos tamo nalaze. Oni hi
sami trebali obracunati sa tin
pacovima, a verovatno da i hi
da nlsu i sami zatrovani sa ma
cizmom i germanStinom.
