RUMANIA: Flames for Rifles

  • Share

Green-shirted Rumanian Fascists (Iron Guards) used to do their killings with bombs and rifles made in secret arsenals. Their organization outlawed, their top leaders shot, the Iron Guards were discovered last week to have been not only hatching new plots but making new weapons. When a German-owned factory near Bucharest was raided, it was found that under an army lieutenant a crew of workmen, chauffeurs and students was making flamethrowers that would burn a foe to a crisp at 100 yards. Green shirts said they had planned to take over the Government "even if we had to burn down Bucharest."
