A BEARDED man limped into the London offi- ces of the "Sunday Chronicle" recently and asked to see the Editor.

He was a Pole who had just arrived in England after a desperate escape from Nazi-ridden Poland by a secret route through German-occupied territor- ies.

He brought a grim story of how a militarily vanquished but spiritually unconquered nation is fighting back against barbaric oppressors.

"Just before F left several weeks ago," he said, "I BBW 庭 guerilla band ambush and slaughter German transport unit near B village in the South-West of the 'General Government."

"When the Nazis heard of the transport's fate they rushed a regiment of infantry to the scene of the ambush. They shot every man on the sput, no matter what his age.

The secret is that Britain is capturing the German trade in razors for the Empire countries. Demands are so heavy that re- tired craftsmen are returning to work.

According to the "Sunday Chronicle's" first-hand informant the Nazi authorities have become so worried at the shooting of Ger- mans and the ambushing of Ger- man transports, that they recent- ly issued new orders for dealing with sabotage.
