Lutsk was captured by our troops this morning, and the area around the
town has been cleansed of enemy troops. So where did the enemy tanks
and infantry suddenly come from?
This Asian mob is sly and cunning; every hour brings an evil
anywhere. There is not a single hour of peace and quiet. It is true
that I am not a coward. Fear is a term unknown to me. It is rather
eerie, however, to ride alone on a messenger motorcycle through large
stretches of forest that have yet to be cleared.
Over the past few days the Reds have shot many messengers on their
motorcycles, dragging them off their bikes in order to torture them
terribly and then to kill them. The rashness of the Russian strategy
can be seen in the following example:
........This afternoon, when Russian tanks appeared, the crew of one
of our panzers climbed out to position its cannon. When we returned,
we found it all in flames. A civilian who was in hiding had set it on
fire. He was captured and also set on fire.
