In Hand-to-Hand
Fight With Nazis

WITH THE JEWISH BRI-
GADE IN ITALY, (JTA)—The
war's most vicious srnallscale ac-
tions are now taking place on
this front with units of the Jew-
ish Brigade tackling elements of
the Nazis' fanatical Fourth para-
troop division.
In one of these fights the Bri-
gade's patrols infiltrated deep
into enemy positions during the
night and fought hand-to-hand
battles along the flood banks,
forcing the Germans from their
positions. The Nazis rained
mortar fire upon the Jewish
troops, but their counter-attacks
were repulsed.
The Brigade participated in the
British 8th Army%s general ad-
vance across the Senio river.
They crossed this formidable
barrier despite heavy minefields.
As of several days ago, the
Jewish Brigade had lost only one
prisoner since they have been in
action. He was a first-aid man
who accompanied a patrol into
the German lines, and remained
when the patrol withdrew to
care for a wounded comrade.
When the Brigade advanced the
next day, they found that the
wounded man had died and the
first-aid man had disappeared,
and, presumably, been captured.
