Machine-Gun Allied Troops

In addition to bombing and ma- | chine-gunning Allied columns mov- | ing to the battle front the German air transports flew low over Dutch | and Belgian towns to drop parachute troops at points where previously landed German forces were hard pressed by the Dutch defenders. Messages to Amsterdam and radio warnings broadcast by the Dutch military reported that six German planes unloaded 200 parachute soldiers from a low altitude near Rotterdam. (The Dutch previously had re-

About 80 German parachute s0ldiers were reported to have landed from planes at Sliedrecht, also near Rotterdam.
