There are 150,000 Eritreans in Asmara, and every one is a potential saboteur-"our Trojan horse," says one Ethiopian commander, referring to the civilian population. Two weeks ago, the E.L.F. sent a radio message to its units inside Asmara advising them that buses were urgently needed to carry wounded soldiers to a field hospital.

As German armies pressed...
