ABOARD A BRITISH WARSHIP AT TOBRUK, Libya, Jan. 29 --(A- P) — Approximately 1.000 German technicians and airmen now are sta- tioned in Libya to aid the Italians against Britain, an Italian prisoner said tonight.

The technicians represent the ma.- jority of the Germans and the "Cler- man dive-bomber pilots have been raiding the British army and fleet," he said.

This pi-Lsoncr was one of thou- sands poured into Tobruk to board British transports battling stswiiy between this captured Fascist port and Egyptian bases.

Many of those prisoners talked eagerly when thcyi saw the United States correspondents insignia on my uniform.‘
