The British Broadcasting Corporation today reported that the Gestapo officials supervising the expulsion of Jews from Austria have been withdrawn from Vienna in view of the fact that there are almost no Jews left in the whole of Austria.
These officials, the British radio stated, have been transferred to Berlin and to Amsterdam in order to speed the expulsion of Jews from Germany and Holland. Hitler has ordered that all Jews must be deported from Berlin by March 31.
