Groups of displaced Jews are conducting military drills outside the DP camps in Bavaria, the Daily Express reported yesterday from Wolfrathausen, about 15 miles from Munich.

The Express correspondent said that a British UNRRA official had discovered the existence of a link between displaced Jews at the Foehrenwald camp at Wolfrathshausen and the Palestinian underground movement. He declared that the military government authorities have posted armed guards around the camp where tension is high as the result of the killing of a Jew by German police and the wounding of six other Jews by bayonet-wielding American troops.

The correspondent asserted that not only were the groups engaged in drilling preparing to go Palestine, but that “more than 4,000 Jewish displaced persons wait in this camp with only one aim–to get to Palestine as soon as possible.”
