Seven displaced Jews at the Foehrenwald camp at Wolfrathausen, 15 miles from here, were injured last night by bayonet-wielding American troops who broke up two demonstrations protesting the killing of a Jew, Isaac Feldberg, during an earlier clash between German police and Jews, it was learned here today.
A military government statement said that the DP’s “marched out of the camp 16 abreast” as an infantry company was being relieved of guard duty. Major Philip Steers, an AMG official at the camp, said that when the DP’s came out of the camp, “the tactical troops jumped from their trucks and with fixed bayonets walked slowly toward the crowd.”
