Nazi Seizure Of
Officers In
Italy Confirmed
Auirralian Anoeiatad PrMi
CAIRO, Friday. — Confirmation
that the Germans seized and took
to Germany all officers, including
war correspondents, who were in
Italian prison camps even before
the fall of Sicily, was given today.
It came from the first two Aus
tralian war prisoners to reach
Cairo from Italy.
The Australians — both Air Force
sergeants — were among a few whoj
escaped from a camp in the Rome
area four hours before the Ger
mans arrived and captured 1,600
of the 2.000 prisoners in the camp.
'I know that the Hon. Eddie
Ward, of the B.B.C.. was taken to
Germany early in August' said
one Australian.
