Russians Employ German Tutors Penalty Rate Of j BERLIN Reliable American i and German informants who de I clined to be named report that the Russians have been engaging j certain export army, navy and air force men of the former German armed forces for service as in structors for the Red Army and Navy. Russian authorities here would not comment on these reports, some of which came from deep in the Russian zone of occupation. An American officer who report ed this Russian use of German per sonnelall presumably disarmed and disbanded observed that "German stuff is not hard to sign up." "Why, I can show you lots of applications from Germans want ing to join the American Army," he added. This officer said and an in formed German editor of a Russian-controlled Berlin daily news paper concurred that the Russians were culling specialists from the ranks of captured German soldiers and were putting them to work teaching the Russian armed forces in branches where the Germans excelled. In aviation, for instance, these sources said, the Germans were teaching the Russians advanced aeronautics, especially wrinkles of instrument navigation.

The figures do not include such non-battle casualties as ill ness not the result of action, train ing accidents, domestic plane crashes, and traffic deaths and in juries traceable to civil life. The War Department caulioned against considering the total cas ualty figure of 948.418 as repre senting that many individuals. Many persons were injured or wounded twice, and other individ uals fell into two or more casualty categories: for example, a man wounded and then captured is counted as two casualties. Figures on the number of separate persons who became casualties were not available. The European theater, with the greatest manpower, suffered the highest number of casualties in all brackets.
