- MANNHEIM, Germany, April 6 (AP).—More than 3,000 men of St. Die, France, brought here in a Gestapo round-up last November, are preparing to return home.
They said they had been put to work in war plants and on fortifications, after a foodless journey of three days to Mannheim. The men were driven from their quarters a week ago by the Gestapo and hid in the countryside, waiting for the Americans to clean up the area. - History Unfolded Contributor
