A YOUNG English- woman who had travelled right through the Siegfried Line arrived in London re- cently with her Hungarian husband; Dr. Lupkovics, after " journey from Slovakia which had taken two months and cost £150.

In the journey across Germany they ate hard- boiled eggs and cold bacon they had bought in Italy, because the German food was so poor.
