LONDON, May 9——A sta
tion calling itself the Prague ra
dio said that Russian troops en
tered the Czechoslovak capital,
| and German planes bombed the
| city and three other points in the
Republic shortly afterward,
j Hostilities in Europe officially
'ended at 12:01 a.m. battlefront
time. At about the same time the
Germans surrendered at three
French Atlantic ports the U-boat
bases of Lorient, St. Nazaire and
Larochelle. The French commun
ique said they were occupied by
the only Germans remaining un
surrendered on French soil and
some twelve thousand at Dun
kerque, the channel port through
which the British expeditionary
force escaped in 1940.
About 79,000 Germans are be
lieved to have * yielded in these
three surrendered ports, the all
important submarine bases, where
German undersea raiders threat
ened the Allied victory.
Russia joyously proclaimed the
unconditional surrender of Ger
many before dawn, ten hours af
ter Truman and Churchill pro
claimed V-E Day, after Ger
j many’s capitulation at Gen. Eisen
hower’s headquarters in Reims,
France early Monday.
The Formal ratification of the
surrender ocurred yesterday. Ac
tions such as the reported last
gasps of Prague were outlawed
under the surrender edicts. Ger
man participants may be treated
“Francs Tireurs” subject to sum
mary execution. .
An unconfirmed Czecho-Slovak
broadcast said that Prague and
three other points: Melnik, Kral
upy and a Jewish concentration
camp at Terezin forty miles north
of Prague has been bomber. The
station didn’t say where the Ger
man planes came from.
The possibility is not overlook
ed that the entire situation might
be a German trick to attempt to
get the Western Allies to attack
the Russians. The patriot radio
earlier said that last ditch Nazi
SS fanatics had reopened fire at
4:50 p.m. Tuesday almost two
hours after the agreed deadline
of cessation of hostilities.
