Reichenberg; Six Generals Take Salute Reichenberg, Oct. 9.
German troops, in the occupation of the fifth Sudeten zone, goosestepped into Reichenberg yesterday to the accompaniment of thunder, lightning and hail. More stirring than any previous scenes which accompanied the occupation of Sudetenland, was the entry into the city, with colours flying, of a half division of troops consisting of artillery, infantry and engineers.
General von Beck, commander of the fifth zone, accompanied by. ves other Generals, took the salute in Benes Square.
When the troops marched by to the music of massed bands, General von Beck received the Freedom of the City from the Lord Mayor, on the steps of the Town Hall. A proclamation was then broadcast to the assembled crowds, announcing that Benes Square had been renamed Bismarckplatz.—Reuter.
