RUSSIAN ZONE BORDER, Ger
many, April 19.-Thousands of Ger
man soldiers captured In the re-
treat from Stalingrad are turning
up as enthusiastic Communists oc-
cupying key positions in the Rus
sian occupation economy.
Prisoners Of war, released by the
Russians, confirm that many men,
bers of the so-called German Ma
tional Lberationary Committee, .
under the leadership of Gen. Fried
rich Won Paulus, are now admin
istering POW camps and educat-
ing prisoners who are willing to
embrace Communist doctrine. At
last reports Won Paulus was said
to be living on the outskirts OF
Moscow.
1t Is suggested by returned pris-
oners that one of the reasons for
the Russian attack on the employ
n1ent by the British of former Ger
man soldiers in labor battalions and
ex-sailors for mine sweeping and
port duties is to provide them with
a "tu quoque"-thou also-should
the activities of the Won Paulus
and seidlitz partisans be brought
to light.
Campaign Is Cited.
A brisk recruiting campaign
among prisoners in Russia was con-
tinued until the eve of the Mos
COW Conference, I am informed,
and any prisoner who declared him
self a convinced nti-Fascist who
was drafted into the Nazi Party
or the Wehrmacht against his will,
was earn1arked for probationary
training in a propaganda camp.
Commenting on the Free Ger
many" movement, Potsdam's Soviet
sponsored S. E. D. Journal for Bran
denburg, declares: There are ex-
members of the Hitler Party and
officers of his army who realized
Evening star., 1947-04-18

that Hitler,s road In Russia was
leading to ruin. They formed an
underground movement and par
ticipated actively In the campaign
against Hitlerian domination. They
induced many young soldiers to
escape to the Russian lines. We
shall never forget those other young
officers and soldiers who returned
to our lines in disguise to diffuse
anti-Fascist propaganda inside the
Wehrmacht.
Reich Domination Seen.
MANY prisoners of war frater-
nized with the Russian partisans
and took part in operations in the
districts of Gomel, Snolensk, Pinsk
and Minsk. They managed to an
initiate several Gestapo crews, in
cluding some chiefs and the Nazi
Gauleiter Kube."
