BIGGEST TEN-TON RAID YET
Bombs Crashed on U-boat Shelters
CARRYING more ten-ton bombs than in any previous attack, Lancasters yesterday hit at concrete U-boat shelters under construction at Farge, north-east of Bremen on the River Weser.
An oil storage depot in the same area was also bombed. Other forces of Lancasters struck at the Konigsborn and Sachsen benzol plants near Hamm, and also at the railway centre of Paderborn, about 40 miles east of Hamm.
Spitfire-bombers continued their attacks on railway targets in the Netherlands rocket zone.
Leigh-Light Liberators attacked seven U-boats, a destroyer and 14 other ships in the Western Baltic on Monday night. Preliminary reports indicate that results were good.
In the Skagerrak, Halifaxes and a Liberator bombed marchant [sic] shipping, while torpedo Beaufighters attacked other vessels off the Frisian Islands.
Railway yards near Vienna, marshalling yards at Szombathely in Hungary and Bratislava in Czecho-Slovakia, and transport targets in Wiener, Neustadt and Budejovice areas were bombed by Italy-based aircraft.

THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1945

The new ten-ton bomb now being used by the R.A.F. is here compared with a 12,000lb. bomb, the type which sank the Tirpitz.
Day Bombers Follow 1,000-plane Assault
GERMAN WARNINGS REPORT TWO-WAY ATTACK TODAY
Bombers of the U.S. Eighth Air Force are over Germany to-day, it is officially announced, continuing the all-out assault on every type of objective in the North German plain, which followed night-long activity by Mosquitoes over the entire area from the Dutch coast to the Ruhr.
For hours the roar of Allied heavy bombers was continuous over the East Anglian coast. Heavy formations went in the direction of Germany, followed by fighters in considerable strength. Warnings broadcast by the German achtung service indicated another two-way daylight assault on Germany’s inner fortress.
A few minutes after an Allied force had been reported over the Zuyder Zee, flying east, bombers were reported over Austria, coming from the south, presumably from Italy bases.
Later bomber formations, flying north-eastwards, were reported approaching the Ruhr, and Allied fighter forces were heading for Berlin.
Other warnings referred to areas as widespread as Hannover, Bremen, and the Czech province of Bohemia. The bomber and fighter stream was estimated to be 60 miles long.
Over Montgomery’s Front
Fighter-bombers and medium bombers were out again to-day, states a message from Field Marshal Montgomery’s 21st Army Group Headquarters. During the night Mosquitoes had hammered 10 marshalling yards north of the Ruhr. They included those at Coesfeld Dulmen, Dulmen, Ahaus and Bochalt.
Some 6,200 sorties were flown by Allied planes in their attacks on German targets yesterday, it is learned at Allied Supreme Headquarters.
Reviewing yesterday’s activities, the Air Ministry stated to-day that in daylight aircraft of R.A.F. Bomber Command, escorted by aircraft of R.A.F. Fighter Command, made heavy and concentrated attacks on an oil refinery at Bremen and on the railway yards at Munster and Rheine.
The Arbergen railway bridge across the Weser, on the outskirts of Bremen, was broken down with 22,000lb and other heavy bombs.
100 Mosquitoes Over Berlin
“Last night,” the Ministry added, “two attacks were made on Berlin, one of them by the largest force of Mosquitoes yet despatched to the German capital.”
An air correspondent states that in the double attack over 100 Mosquitoes took part.
Out of over 1,000 aircraft of Bomber Command engaged in all operations, 12 are missing.
Photographic reconnaissance over the Gestapo building in Copenhagen, attacked by low-flying Mosquitoes yesterday, shows the structure to be completely smashed and burning, says a correspondent with the T.A.F.
The largest petrol and oil dump supplying the German armies facing Field Marshal Montgomery’s 21st Army Group was completely destroyed by the Second T.A.F. south-east of Deventer, in Holland, yesterday.
