Show 12 Reds Give Lives to Kill Thousands of Foe STOCKHOLM. A squadron of Russian living bombs old airplanes loaded with dynamite which crash on their targets with the pilots still at the controls sank 12 German ships off Russia's Kronstadt naval base, the Soviet radio said. The radio report, published here in the newspaper Aftonbladet, said that "the Red army sacrificed 12 old planes, several thousand pounds of dynamite and 12 pilots, but the Germans lost thousands of men and 12 ships and a large amount of war material." The report said a German Ger-man assault on the Kronstadt area was beaten off largely as a result of the heroism of the suicide squad. |
