Captain Pluģģe

asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the shooting of children in Poland by the Germans; and whether he can make any statement on the subject?

The Prime Minister

Yes, Sir. A report of the execution of 136 students, some of whom are said to have been as young as 12 or 13 years old, was contained in a memorandum on conditions in German-occupied Poland, communicated by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to His Majesty's Ambassador at Angers.
