George Beck: June 24, 1944
40 officers and 12 men have been shot by the Gestapo, they escaped and sooner than be knocked about by the Gestapo they preferred death. English news says that Germany is given while today to send in the names of the men responsible for these murders, they have the name of the chief. Order issued to the guards today no noise has to be made by prisoners after lights out, it appears men have been escaping while others have been singing to bluff the guards. News is good for us everywhere, two more towns taken in Italy; Finns are fleeing from the Russians.
