Wednesday 24 January 1945 Quote: Wood and Cardboard Mines
Mulhouse(France); The American United Press News Agency reported:
The French First Army has been given the task of clearing large quantities of land mines out of the Mulhouse area which has just been occupied by the Allies. The French have been struck by the fact that the Germans - due no doubt to their shortage of iron - did not lay down any steel mines but only mines encased in glass, cardboard, wood or any other substitute materials.
