engaged by Yugoslavia for work on fortifications facing Rumania, Albania
and Bulgaria. These men are alle[;ed to be experts in construction work
and some were formerly with the Todt Organization,
20 Modern deep bomb shelters which allegedly will house the entire Yugoslav
General Staff and insure communications have been built by German prison-
ers in the former Royal Palace at Djedina. The same German workers are
also reported to have built, for General Staff use, a nearby airfield
with cement runways and some underground hangers.
