Cologne gets 116th raid
Two huge explosions lit up the sky 10 minutes after the R.A.F. had started its 116th attack on Cologne on Wednesday night.
The defences did not open up until the first bombs had gone down. For the first few minutes the barrage steadily increased, although the town’s belt of searchlights was largely ineffective because of cloud.
Targets elsewhere in the Rhineland were attacked, and fighters shot up transport and other objectives in Holland and Belgium. Fourteen bombers and one fighter are missing.

[underlined] So Many Bombers Attacked Bochum, They Had to Dodge Each Other In The Clouds [/underlined]
Guns Massed Miles Deep In Desperate Defence of Ruhr
RESUMING the offensive against the Ruhr on Saturday night, Bomber Command assailed the coal and iron city of Bochum with a great force of four-engined bombers.
Although the raid was not so heavy as the record attack on Dusseldorf on the previous night, over five 4,000-pounders were going down every minute, in addition to tens of thousands of incendiaries and hundreds of other high-explosive bombs.
More guns have been sent to the Ruhr since the R.A.F.'s last attack on Dortmund.
The Nazis have made no secret of the fact that if the Ruhr is silenced, Germany's war-waging potential is at an end. They are clearly making every effort to ward off such a disaster.
HUGE SEARCHLIGHT CONES
Said the pilot of a Halifax: "The whole place seemed to come alive with hundreds of gun flashes. The barrage did not let up at once. It seemed as if the Germans had massed their guns miles deep."
"Two huge cones of about 70 searchlights were sweeping the sky over Munster," said another airman. "Night fighters were out in force, but when more bombers arrived the efficiently co-ordinated defence began to waver. The guns resorted to a straight barrage.
There were so many bombers over the target that one pilot said that his chief worry was in trying to avoid a collision.
FIGHTER EXPLODED
"The weather had clouded over," said the pilot of a Lancaster, "and I was afraid of hitting one of our aircraft in the darkness.
"I saw one fighter explode with a flash and go down in flames."
Later arrivals over Bochum found two large areas of fire. "I was guided to the target by the glow on the clouds," said the pilot of another Lancaster.
"When we were over the target we were suddenly hit by flak and by an incendiary from one of our own aircraft, at the same moment. The flak did not do us much harm, but the incendiary flared up and started a fire. My wireless operator put out the flames, and we went on to bomb our target.
[page break]
700 Buildings Were Wrecked in Bochum
AIR photographs of Bochum, taken after the attack on the night of June 12, have now been interpreted in detail. They show that damage is even more serious than it appeared to be after a first inspection of the pictures.
The raid was not one of the heaviest of recent attacks in the Battle of the Ruhr, but in the centre of the city 130 acres were devastated.
Nine industrial establishments, three of them of the highest priority, have been affected by the attack. Seven hundred buildings have been destroyed or seriously damaged.
CAN'T BE REPLACED
One of the high priority plants, the Eisen and Huttenwerke A.G., which was very severely damaged, produces some especially important grades of steel, and the extensive devastation of the factory will cost the enemy irreplaceable war material.
[page break]
CHIMNEY STACK COLLAPSED
"I saw a stick of explosives hit a factory. The factory chimney tottered for a moment and then lazily collapsed on to the ground.
"When we looked down again we all saw a huge explosion which was quickly followed by a second and then a third. Sheets of red flame spurted upwards, giving way to smoke, which rolled up towards the clouds."
Many other crews reported seeing these explosions.
Bochum, with a population of 320,000, is one of the most important transport centres of the Ruhr coal basin. It has a great number of coke oven plants and an important steel industry.
24 BOMBERS MISSING
This is the third big raid on Bochum this year.
Fighter Command intruders on Saturday night attacked transport targets in Northern France and Holland.
From the night's operations, 24 bombers are missing.
The German communique reported "casualties among the civilian population, particularly in the town of Bochum. Considerable damage was done to houses and public buildings, including two hospitals. The destruction of 29 enemy bombers has so far been reported.
The pilot of a reconnaissance aircraft which flew over Munster on Saturday found that the fires started during the attack on the previous night were still burning.

Hitler pursuit un mirage sanglant
Ils ont beau crier Victoire
Description
An account of the resource
Article regards German claims of any victory over Moscow and the Russian army to be false. It points to a number of German spokespersons from Hitler himself to German press or radio making false reports of victory. Six examples of false claims are given over the period of 12 July to 12 October. The reality is said to be that large numbers of Germans have been killed in a number of places (Gomel, Smolensk, Bryansk, St Petersburg, Odessa, Moscow). French are urged to ignore the claims and remember that only a small part of Russian territory had been invaded, its industry was continuing, its army had huge supplies and morale was very high. Hitler had paused the offensive and would receive the punishment he deserved.

Luftpost, number 4, 16 June 1941
Description
An account of the resource
On 7th June Sir Robert Peirse, Commander in Chief of Bomber Command, reported on the British success against German vessels since 12th March. For land-based operations, they are mass producing larger aircraft with larger bombing capacity to have more impact in a single sortie.
Article about Princess Hohenlohe, formerly Stephany Richter, of Hungarian Jewish origin. She had associations with Hitler and his entourage. Arrested in May and sentenced to deportation, she has been assisting the American government. As a result, Dr. Kurt Rieths, former German ambassador in Vienna, was arrested. The German-American federation, financed by the National Socialist Party, has also been dissolved and its leader sent to prison for embezzlement.
Because of the RAF actions on ships, the article questions how many reinforcements are reaching General Rommel in North Africa.
Favourably compares British and American steel and oil production to the Axis countries, suggesting they will, therefore, produce a higher number of bombs.
Cartoon called “The Final Victory 1941”.
Calorie consumption comparisons show a reduction between early months of 1940 and 1941. Although Germany and Denmark are still above the recommended 2500 calories per day, the Norwegians, Dutch, Belgians and French have insufficient. It suggests Germany is plundering them for its own needs.
List of German targets in Britain.
Eight facts and eight questions are listed on the subject of Rudolf Hess, who landed in Scotland on 10th May.

Description
An account of the resource
300 more American warships are now protecting shipping routes following President Roosevelt’s order on 12 September. Numbers of vessels in American navy at the outbreak of war are listed and the number will steadily increase.
William Sebold, a double agent for 18 months, testified against 16 German spies in New York on 8th September. 11 had given full confessions and a further 17 had been recently arrested. The Gestapo provided him with the names and addresses of their spies in the United States.
List of German regions and cities Russian reports list as having suffered significantly.
Provides information on damage to parts of Cologne, which it claims, the German authorities do not wish to share.
The military situation is said to be a barometer for the military situation; falling share prices are linked to the start of the Russian campaign.
German losses said to be five times higher than First World War and a hundred times more than in 1870-1871, countering [Joseph] Goebbels’s claim that the losses are ‘quite normal’.
Blames Herr Walter Funk [Reich Minister for Economic Affairs, President of the Reichsbank] for the huge increase in bank note circulation. Article mocks his monetary theory and concludes he should be held accountable.
Britain now sending aircraft and military equipment to Russia, showing it is strong enough to prevent any invasion. Hitler will still want to invade, which is why the RAF has conducted operations against German and Axis ships. The first conference of the three global powers [America, Britain and Russia] to take place in Moscow.
Feud between Wilhelm Kube and Goebbels goes back to 1924. Kube is about to become Commissioner General for Belarus. Kube is said to be in the ascendancy, whilst Goebbels and Walter Darré, Reich Minister of Food and Agriculture, are becoming less significant.
Photograph and description of U-boat surrender after being spotted by a Hudson aircraft on a patrol of the Atlantic; the first time a landplane has caused a submarine to surrender.

Hitler or Roosevelt? Which do you believe?
Description
An account of the resource
The leaflet contrasts Hitler’s repeated declaration on 16th March 1941 that Germany would achieve the final victory with that of Roosevelt on 16th [15th] March 1941, announcing America’s total commitment until total victory.
A quotation is given from Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’, Chapter 13, describing the sheep-like docility of the German people.
Quotations are used from Paul von Hindenburg in 1917 and Hitler in 1941, which suggested Germany would respond to American support with submarines and torpedoes. The article asks whether the ‘sheep’ should believe when they have been deceived twice.

BRITISH GUNNER
[page break]
[photograph]
[emblem] ENGLAND – A small village lay tucked away in the fold of a valley just below the high, windswept, bleak plateau where a Lancaster bomber station was situated. Housewives were busy in the kitchen preparing food, and the men had left their ploughing to come in for the noon-day meal. In the lichen-covered Gothic church, the minister's wife was arranging decorations, and placing on the altar freshly cut chrysanthemums that had managed to escape the north winds, and were still blooming in December.
The placidness of the village life was in sharp contrast to the bustling activity at the airfield. It seemed as remote from war as any hamlet could possibly be, although the provident farmers, living so close to an obvious military target, had wisely provided themselves with shelter trenches at the edge of each ploughed field.
Nevertheless, the name of this quiet, lovely village had spread far. By borrowing it, the bomber station had made it one to strike terror into the heart of the Nazi High Command.
At the airfield, V-for-Victor's crew lounged around B Flight office waiting to see if operations were on. They kept looking up into the sky as if trying to guess what the weather was going to be like. Some of the men chuckled. "Papa Harris is so set on writing off the Big City that he hardly even notices the weather," one of them said. "The last time there were kites stooging around all over the place. The met boobed that one."
It was a strange new language. What the airman was saying was that the last time out, the meteorological men had given a wrong steer on the weather, and the planes had been flying all over looking for the field, on the return trip. "Papa Harris" was Air Chief Marshal Harris, chief of Bomber Command.
V-for-Victor's captain came back from operations room with the news that there would be ops. That settled the discussion. You seemed to be aware, without noticing anything in particular, of a kind of tension that gripped the men; like they were pulling in their belts a notch or two to get set for the job ahead.
And with the news, everybody got busy – the aircrews, the ground crews, the mechanics, the Waafs, the cooks. The ships already had a basic bomb and fuel load on board, and the additional loads were sent out in ammunition trailers and fuel trucks. The perimeter track lost its usually deserted appearance and looked like a well-traveled [sic] highway, with trucks and trailers, buses and bicycles hurrying out to the dispersal points. It was just like the preparations at any bomber base before taking off for enemy territory – but going over the big city was something different. These men had been there before. They knew what to expect.
In the equipment room, June, the pint-sized Waaf in battledress, was an incongruous note. Over a counter as high as her chin, she flung parachutes, harnesses and Mae Wests. The crew grabbed them and lugged them out to the ships. You kept thinking they ought to be able to get somebody a little bigger for the job she was handling.
In the briefing room, the met officer gave the weather report and the forecast over enemy territory. There would be considerable cloud over the target. The men grinned. An operations officer gave a talk on the trip. The route was outlined on a large map of Germany on the front wall. It looked ominously long on the large-scale map. He pointed out where the ground defenses [dic] were supposed to be strong, and where fighter opposition might be expected. He gave the time when the various phases should be over the target. He explained where the "spoof" attacks were to be made, and the time. He told the men what kinds of flares and other markers the Pathfinders would drop. There was the usual business of routine instructions, statistics and tactics to be used. The group captain gave a pep-talk on the progress of the Battle of Berlin. And all the while, that tape marking the route stared you in the face, and seemed to grow longer and longer.
Outside, it was hazy and growing more so. But this was nothing new. The men were convinced that the weather was always at its most variable and its dampest and its haziest over their field. What could you expect? Ops would probably be scrubbed after all. Hell of a note!
In the fading light the planes were silhouetted against the sky. They looked, on the ground, slightly hunched and menacing like hawks. Seeing them there, in the half light, you would never guess how easy and graceful they are in flight. Nor would you realize, when you see them soaring off the runway, what an immense load they take up with them. It is only when you see the open bomb bay, on the ground, that you get some idea of a Lancaster's destructive power. The open bomb bay seems like a small hangar. The 4,000 pound block-buster in place looks like a kitten curled up in a large bed. It is a sobering sight.
In the evening some of the men tried to catch a few winks; most of them just sat around talking. The operational meal followed. It was only a snack, but it was the last solid food any one would get until the fresh egg and bacon breakfast which has become a ritual for the proper ending of a successful mission.
A YANK correspondent went along with the RAF Lancasters as they made two of their historic night raids on the "Big City" – and watched them drop their "blockbusters" and incendiaries on the nerve centre of Europe's evil genius. From these two trips he learned what all RAF night bombing crews have learned – that usually you either get back intact or you don't get back at all. This is the story of one of those missions over Berlin.

BERLIN JULY 30, 1944
WORLD AND WAR NEWS
An official German statement was published on 20th July as follows: “An attempt was made on the life of the Fuehrer to-day by means of an explosive. Among those with him the following persons were seriously injured: Lt,-General Schmundt, Col. Brandt, collaborator Berger. Less seriously injured were: Generals Jodl, Korten, Buhle, Bodenschatz, Heusinger and Scherff, Admirals Voss, von Puttkammer, Captain Assmann and Lt,-Col, Boltmann. Apart from slight burns and slight shock the Fuehrer himself was unharmed. He continued with his work immediately after and received the Duce for discussions as had been arranged.

affecting every aspect of public life, and has authority to issue orders to the highest authorities of the Reich.
It is officially announced in Germany that the return of the German civilians from southern Russia has now ended. 350,000 Germans of Russia have returned to the Reich and will be settled in Warthegau. This decision to repatriate them and thus save them from Bolshevism was taken after it had been decided to shorten the eastern front.
It appears that the Germans are now using newer and larger types of flying bombs, com- [missing words]

North-east of Kauen our brave infantry halted repeated Soviet attacks.
Between Dunaburg and Lake Peipus strong Bolshevik infantry and panzer forces were for the most part broken up, 50 panzers being destroyed. At two points of infiltration fierce fighting is in progress. The ruins of Ostrov and Pleskau were evacuated after all facilities had been destroyed.
Bombing formations of the Luftwaffe played an effective part in the ground fighting and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy in manpower and material.
WAR IN THE AIR.
Fast German bombers attacked targets in the south-eastern counties.
Anglo-American air attacks on various town in Germany cost the enemy the loss of 285 aircraft, mostly 4-engined bombers.
EVACUEES ONLY
Blackpool has completed the billeting of 3,000 evacuees. The Health Ministry postponed the arrival of another party expected yesterday.
Several Blackpool restaurants and cafes yesterday closed their doors to holidaymakers until evacuees had been catered for.
Many evacuee mothers are offering to do domestic work in shorthanded boarding houses.
An official check-up at Newcastleon-Tyne [sic] shows that the northern region – Northumberland, Durham and North Yorkshire – allocated 20,000 evacuees, has responded magnificently to house the visitors.
Every tenant of Suttons’ Dwellings, a block of 240 workers’ flats in the Elswick district of Newcastle, has agreed to take one or more child evacuees.
MINERS HELP
Mr. Will Lawther, president of the Mineworkers’ Federation, announced in Durham that miners’ welfare centres throughout the country are to be placed at the disposal of evacuees.
Torquay’s billeting troubles were almost ended last night. Of 600 mothers and children temporarily housed in schools since their arrival on Friday, only a few were left without billets.
The authorities have commandeered large empty houses and have furnished and equipped them. One hotel offered its topfloor [sic] rooms.
Alderman T. Bowden, chairman of the billeting committee, said last night that the mothers were most profuse in their gratitude for all that had been done for them.
Daily Express, July 17th.
The Deutsches Nachrichtenburo announced on 24th July that the plot by a criminal clique of German officers had completely collapsed. The ringleaders either committed suicide after the outrage or were shot by battalions of the army. Among those executed was the manipulator of the explosive, Col. Count von Stauffenberg. No incidents have occurred anywhere.
The Fuhrer has awarded Field Marshal Kesselring, C.-in-C. of the German airforces in Italy, with the Oak Leaves with Swords and Diamonds to the Knight’s Insignia of the Iron Cross.
The Fuehrer has issued a “total war” order whereby the whole of public life has to be adapted to the needs of total war. For this purpose a Director for Total Warfare is to be appointed. He is to have very wide powers

Reuter states that Brigadier-General Pratt, second-in-command of the 101st U.S.A. Airborne Division fell in action in Normandy on the first day of the invasion.
According to a report in “Economist”, Professor Bowley, the wellknown [sic] English economist, stated in an address that the number of working days lost to Great Britain during the first 51 months of this war through strikes amounted to 5,5 millions. About half this number was lost by the coal mines. The second heaviest loser was the engineering trade; and shipyards, the cotton and clothing industry and the building trade all suffered considerably.
HOME NEWS IN BRIEF
Under cover of flying bombs, a well-organised London gang of Black Marketeers is raiding clothing warehouse and getting away with hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of material that cannot be replaced. If they are not stoped, [sic] firms which have already lost a lot of stock will be forced out of business, a member of the trade said last night.
Beer has become increasingly scarce in Southern England since the invasion of Normandy. More and more public houses are hanging up “No Beer” signs.
First steps in the demobilisation of women from war industry will take place in the shipyards next month.
Several hundred who have been doing such jobs as painters, welders and rivet heaters in the N.E. shipyards will be handed their cards.
Boarding-house keepers who were fined £5 each at Blackpool for failing to take in evacuee mothers and children under compulsory orders complained of being “picked on” by the authorities when leading towspeople [sic] had no one billeted on them.
Princess Margaret, who will be 14 next month, made her first public appearance on her own when she visited the Princess Margaret School at Windsor.
She received purses from pupils and old girls in aid of the school rebuilding fund and made a speech of thanks.
The South Lancashire Regiment was among the troops which landed west of Ouistreham in Normandy on D Day. The regiment helped to take Colleville-sur-Orne, two miles from the sea.
The regiment continued to serve in the area north of Caen beside the west bank of the canal, where resistance was formidable. During the third week of June it was in fierce fighting near the village of La Bijude, two miles north of Caen.
Twenty-four hours after a flying bomb incident in Southern England the chief warden stood on top of a pile of rubble that had once been a surface air-raid shelter and announced that interference from sightseers was cutting down rescue work by 50 per cent.
He is not the only Civil Defence official who says this.
All over London wardens, heavy rescue workers, incident officer, and N.F.S. personnel admit they are hindered in getting help to trapped people by crowds of sightseers.
Londoners enjoyed 13 hours of continuous sunshine on Thursday, July 6 – the first taste of summer weather for several weeks, it can now be disclosed.
The one-day summer was not general. Continuous rain in the Scottish border districts reached cloudburst dimensions.
The good farming land of the South-West Country, given up months ago to the American Army for battle training ground, is to be restored to countrymen who were evacuated.
The families of farming folk who surrendered their homes to become practice grounds for the men who took Cherbourg will soon be going back.
But not at once. The country has been badly knocked about. It will take time to restore the battered landscape and homesteads.
The week-end rush of passengers from Victoria Station, Manchester, for the Lancashire coast resorts is not abating. It is estimated that on July 15 over 7,000 holiday-makers had crowded themselves into five trains for Blackpool and Fleetwood by the middle of the morning while another 7,000 were patiently waiting in a deep queue outside the station.
It is officially announced in Bombay that the cholera epidemic has claimed 34,808 victims from the four districts of Bihar Province during the past three months.
Imperial Japanese headquarters report on the conclusion of hostilities in the island of Saipan as follows: “On the 7th of June our forces in Saipan launched a fierce attack on the enemy, on whom they inflicted heavy losses. By the 16th of June the last Japanese soldier had died the death of a hero. The Japanese population of Saipan stood shoulder to shoulder with the troops until the end. It is probable that they have shared the fate of our officers and soldiers.”
Domei, the Japanese News Agency states that General Tojo, the Japanese Prime Minister has tendered his resignation to the Tenno. It is officially announced in Japan that the reshuffle in the Cabinet is intended to pave the way for a concentration of national forces for total war.
It is announced that the Tenno has entrusted General Kuniaki Koiso, Governor-General of Korea, and the former Prime Minister, Admiral Mitsumasa Yonay with the joint task of forming the new cabinet.
The Japanese Office of Information announces that the Tenno has appointed Naokuni Nomura successor to Admiral Schimada as Minister for Naval Affairs.

FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1944
BATTLE OF FRANCE STARTS IN AIR
Massed Nazi Tanks Wiped Out in Great Raid.
By COLIN BEDNALL, Air Correspondent
A PRE-INVASION aerial battle of France, in which fantastic moonlight dog-fights not only between fighters and bombers but between the first-line fighters of both sides may be seen, has been precipitated by Wednesday’s night operations of R.A.F. Bomber Command.
Large numbers of German tanks and military vehicles expressly marshalled to fight on a wide stretch of the enemy’s Western lines are believed to have been destroyed under a 1,500-tons attack.
Following immediately upon the devastation of so many railway marshalling centres behind the Western lines, the challenge offered by the heavy bombers could no longer be ignored by the enemy.
With fighter reinforcement temporarily borrowed from the defence of Germany proper, he fought for the attacked depots with ferocity equalling that seen in attacks on Berlin itself.
The R.A.F. loss of 49 aircraft during the night must be regarded as above the average for all forms of bombing operations.
The R.A.F. will be certain to reply to the enemy’s offer of battle. It can turn bombers and intruders upon the airfields from which the enemy fighters are operating.
And as for the next week or so it will be attacking in moonlight it should be possible to provide an actual fighter escort for the night bombers.
In this respect the attacks on France present a different proposition to the long journeys into Germany on dark nights when the difficulties of maintaining contact between a fighter escort and a long-strung-out bomber force would be great.
In switching his fighters to the defence of the invasion targets in France the enemy has obviously decided to gamble on the R.A.F. main bomber forces staying out of Reich territory while the moon is up.
Mosquitoes can be expected to maintain the bombing offensive there during the moonlight period, but, generally, it is just a waste of time for any enemy fighter to try to catch a Mosquito at night.
[underlined] FEW ESCAPE [/underlined]
A reconnaissance aircraft had located the tank concentration at a military depot at Mailly, near Rheims. The new “night precision” technique was employed to place the great bomb load squarely across this depot despite the fierce opposition.
It is believed that the tanks and vehicles were parked down in the depot a few hours before the attack took place, and there is little likelihood that men or materials survived it.
A pitched battle was fought over this target, with our bombers making their runs with unfailing precision through dog-fights lighted by the moon, fighter flares, and target indicators.
Soon a pall of smoke covered the whole area of the depot, and violent explosions were seen.
One pilot saw the biggest explosion of his career, with flames going up to a thousand feet.
More battles were fought as the armada sped home.
Of the bombing, Sergeant C. Duthoit, of Burnley, said: “I saw our 4,000-pounder go off, taking a large building with it and throwing a mass of debris into the air.”
[underlined] ARMS DUMP HIT [/underlined]
Aircraft stores and equipment at Montdidier, 23 miles south-east of Amiens, an ammunition dump at Chateaudun, north-west of Orleans, which was exploding for 35 minutes, and the chemical and explosive centre at Ludwigshaven, in the Upper Rhineland, were also heavily attacked.
Our bombers were sent out in “great strength” which probably means nearly 1,000.
These great night attacks dove-tailed into new day raids and with attacks from east and south on vital centres of Hitler’s invasion belt.
Yesterday an armada of planes based in Britain, including Fortresses, struck at railways and other war targets in many parts of Northern France.
Others bombed an airfield in Holland and pierced the German frontier as far as the Hanover-Brunswick area. The Holland force shot down nine fighters for the loss of three.
During the night Allied bombers pin-pointed railway targets at Bucarest, [sic] Rumanian capital. Others smashed viaducts and bridges on the Riviera railway from Marseilles through Vintimiglia [sic] to Spezia, causing particular damage at Ventimiglia.
And far to the east, as zero hour looms for the new offensive, the Red Air Force has been hammering at enemy railway junctions and aerodromes on their invasion belt from the Black Sea to Lvov and Stanislavov and down to Rumania. Here their air blows link up with the British and American attacks.
Air Squeeze on the Axis
[map of Europe]
MAP shows how the triangular bombing blows from east, west, and south are hammering at the Axis war potential. From Russia key German air defence points in Rumania and pre-war Poland were hit on Wednesday night, while Allied bombers based in this country kept up the non-stop attack on military and aircraft installations in France and Germany. At the same time Italy-based bombers struck again at Bucarest. [sic]
‘INVASION DECISION PUT OFF’
Says Goebbels
THE assertion that the Allied leaders are postponing taking a decision on the invasion of Europe is made by Goebbels in his weekly article Das Reich, quoted by the German Official News Agency.
Every day and night, he admits, the Germans take invasion precautions. He also admits Allied air superiority, but claims that the German fighter plants have been moved to places where they cannot be hit. He says:-
“The present chances of either side are not clear as long as the decisive factors of future developments remain undefined.
“As long as the air war had led to no decision, and as long as the opening of the second front remains a war of nerves, the war itself still remains an open question.
“However, the enemy knows as well as we do that both factors harbour as many dangers for him as for us. The enemy cannot afford a defeat in the one or the other without losing his last chance of victory.
“It is not without reason that both London and Washington are again and again postponing the decision which, once taken, is irrevocable.
‘We Have Some Trumps’
“Not only has the enemy had time enough to prepare an invasion, but so have we to repel it.
“We still hold some trumps. Behind the fortifications which are known, there are hidden a great number of unknown preparations. If the enemy troops envisage the invasion on the lines described in London papers, or by General Montgomery, they can only be pitied.
“The Anglo-Americans place their hopes mainly on their present air superiority. We do not dispute that by any means. We refuse, however, as a great error the thesis that the enemy has eliminated our fighter weapon, or that there is a chance of achieving such a result.
“The example of Cassino has, moreover, proved that air bombardments, however massive, are by no means sufficient to pierce a firm defensive line.” – B.U.P.
ALLIED ‘SEA, AIR BATTLE’
Signals Failed
From Daily Mail Correspondent
SYDNEY, Thursday. – Details of the accidental clash between Allied ‘planes and warships, in which two patrol ships were wrecked and two ‘planes shot down, show that the incident began when a patrol boat in difficulty off Northern New Guinea was attacked by fighters from the Solomons.
One fighter was shot down, but the ‘planes returned with reinforcements. A second patrol ship came to the aid of the first: both were attacked, and a second ‘plane was shot down.
This is the seventh clash between friendly forces in recent weeks. A failure in recognition signals is blamed.
Red Army’s ‘Hush-hush’ Battles
Big Axis Losses
MOSCOW, Thursday.
THOUSANDS of Germans and Rumanians are dying in officially unrecorded battles near Jassy and in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains.
Every day the enemy launches counter-attacks here, but they fail to gain ground, according to latest despatches from the Second Ukrainian front.
Although these sharp local engagements are not mentioned in Soviet communiques the battlefields are strewn with wrecked tanks, burnt-out lorries, and shattered guns.
Air Mastery
Soviet troops have penetrated deep into the foothills and along the valleys and tracks leading to the main passes, and experienced Red Army mountaineers are carrying heavy boxes of munitions and food supplies up to the forward positions.
Simultaneously the Soviet air offensive is gathering force in its softening-up of the German rear communications from Rumania to the Polish border region.
Great fleets of planes are bombing German troop concentrations, rail junctions, and airfields on an increasing number of key sectors.
The Soviet communique to-night again reported “no important changes,” but told of another mass air raid on Sebastopol, which caused ten fires in arms dumps and heavy losses in manpower to the Germans.
Berlin is expecting a new Sebastopol blow. The German commentator, Colonel von Hammer, said to-night that the Russian preparations for launching a great offensive in that area are going ahead rapidly. – B.U.P. and Reuter.
LATEST
GERMANS ADMIT RUSSIAN SUCCESS
The Germans admitted last night that the Russians had won temporary possession of a sector on the Sereth front. – Reuter.
NEW ROMMEL TOUR
Rommel is on a tour of inspection of the Mediterranean Coastal Defences, the German News Agency said last night. – Reuter.
S. AFRICA AIRPORT
Details of a new airport, complete with the most modern equipment, built by the Fleet Air Arm, were released yesterday. The airfield, called “Malagas,” is within a few miles of Capetown and cost nearly £4,000,000. – A.P.

Die verantwortlichen Staatsmänner der Vereinten
Nationen erklären :
1941 “Es liegt nicht in unserer Absicht, den wirtschaftlichen Zusammenbruch Deutschlands oder irgend eines anderen Landes zu verursachen. Ich sage das nicht aus irgend einer Verliebe für Deuchtsland, sondern weil ein hungerndes und bankrottes Deutschland in der Mitte Europa suns alle, die wir seine Nachbarn sind, vergiften würde. Das ist nicht Sentimentalität, sondern gesunder Menschenverstand.”
EDEN, 29.7.41.
1942 “Es wäre töricht, Die Hitler-Clique mit dem deutschen Volk und dem deutschen Staat zu identifizieren ; die Geschichte zeigt, dass Hitlers kommen und gehen, der deutsche Staat aber und das deutsche Volk bleiben.”
STALIN, 23.11.42.
1943 “Wir führen keinen Krieg gegen Völker als solche. Wir führen Krieg gegen Tyrannei.”CHURCHILL, 21.9.43.
“Die Vereinten Nationen haben nicht die Absicht, das deutsche Volk zu versklaven. Es ist unser Wunsch, dem deutschen Volk die Möglichkeit zu normaler, friedlicher Entwicklung als nützliche und geachtete Glieder der europäischen Völkerfamilie zu geben.”
ROOSEVELT, Weihnachten 1943.
Aber Goebbels lügt weiter─

AN DIE ZIVILBEVÖLKERUNG DER DEUTSCHEN INDUSTRIEGEBIETE
Am 10. Mai 1942 hat Premierminister Churchill alle deutschen Städte, in denen sich die Rüstungsfabriken der deutschen Kriegsmaschine befinden, öffentlich zum Kriegsgebiet erklärt und die deutsche Zivilbevölkerung aufgefordert, diese Städte zu verlassen.
Diese Warnung ist der Bevölkerung der deutschen Industriegebiete von der deutschen Regierung verschwiegen worden. Die deutsche Regierung hat es auch über ein Jahr lang in verbrecherischer Weise unterlassen, hinlängliche Vorkehrungen zur Evakuirung der Bevölkerung aus diesen Gebieten zu treffen. Die Folgen fallen auf das Haupt der deutschen Regierung.
Der Verlauf unserer Luftoffensive in den Sommermonaten
G.69
[page break]
des Jahres 1943 hat gezeigt, dass die Luftwaffe nicht in der Lage ist, selbst das verhältnismässig kleine Gebiet Westund Nordwestdeutschlands zu schützen, das in den kurzen Sommernächten von England aus erreichbar ist. Jetzt erweitert sich mit dem Längerwerden der Nächte der Angriffsbereich der RAFallwöchentlich um 100 Kilometer. Binnen kurzem wird fast das ganze Reichsgebiet innerhalb dieses Bereichs liegen. Das bedeutet eine weitere Zersplitterung der bereits unzulänglichen Verteidigung. Sämtliche deutschen Industriegebiete sind wehrlos.
Es ist unser fester Entschluss, die Industrien der deutschen Kriegsmaschine zu vernichten, und wir besitzen die Mittel, diesen Entschluss durchzuführen. Wir werden unsere Angriffe solange fortsetzen und steigern, bis jede Kriegsproduktion in Deutschland aufgehört hat. Nur die bedingungslose Kapitulation der Regierung Hitler kann diesem Prozess ein Ende setzen.
Solange diese bedingungslose Kapitulation nicht erfolgt ist, stellen sämtliche deutschen Industriestädte einen Kriegsschauplatz dar. Jere Zivilperson, die sich auf diesem Kriegsschauplatz aufhält, läuft selbstverständlich ebenso Gefahr, ihr Leben zu verlieren, wie jede Zivilperson, die sich unbefugt auf ainem Schlachtfeld aufhält.
Was die Frauen und Kinder betrifft, so haben sie auf einem Schlachtfeld nichts zu suchen. Was die Belegschaften der Rüstungswerke selbst betrifft, so sind sie in der Lage von Soldaten einer Armee, deren Verteidigung zusammengebrochen und deren Vernichtung unvermeidlich ist. Soldaten in solcher Lage können ohne Schmälerung ihrer Ehre den Kampf einstellen.
[underlined] Wer diese Warnung missachtet, hat sich die Folgen selbst zuzuschreiben. [/underlined]

An account of the resource
Warning to civilian population of German industrial areas, outlining Churchill’s designation of cities with armaments factories as war zones (10th May 1942). Call to evacuate is said to have been kept from civilians by the German government.
Luftwaffe unable to protect because of RAF’s increasing reach into German territory. Resolve to destroy industries of German war machine until production ceases or Hitler’s government surrenders unconditionally. Civilians, who stay, are like soldiers on battlefield. Will bear consequences if disregard warning.

REF:
GERMANY AFTER THE WAR
THE RESPONSIBLE STATESMAN OF THE ALLIED NATIONS DECLARE: -
1941
It is not our intention to bring about the economic ruin of Germany or any other country. I say this
not out of any fondness for Germany, but because a starving and bankrupt Germany in the middle
of Europe would poison us who are its neighbours. That is not sentimentality, but sound common sense.
EDEN 29.7.41
1942
It would be foolish to identify the Hitler 'clique' with the German people or with the German state.
History shows that 'Hitlers' come and go, the German state and the German people remain.
STALIN 23.11.42
1943
We make no war against nations as such. We make war against tyranny.
CHURCHILL 21.9.43
The Allied Nations do not intend to enslave the German people. It is our
wish to give the German people the opportunity for normal and peaceful
development as a useful and respected member of the European family of
nations.
ROOSEVELT CHRISTMAS 1943
HOWEVER GOEBBELS CONTINUES TO LIE:-
1) England wants to deliver Europe to Stalin's knife.
2) Slaughter Df the Germans - new brutal English plan of shame.
3) Germany to become a slave state.
4) Devil's plan against our children.
5) A brutal Churchill plan.
6) They want spiritual and physical destruction of the German people.
AND HE WILL CONTINUE TO LIE LIKE THIS UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.

Ref: Mistreatment of prisoners
Troops are advised that information is being received in ever increasing
volume concerning the mistreatment and murder of German POW's by Allied
Forces. However incomprehensible and even unbelievable occurrences of
this nature may seem to German military thinking, these documentarily
proven crimes can be explained however by the hate and the callous
brutality of the Jewish incited underworld in angle-Saxon cities.
THIS DOCUMENT WAS POSTED IN GERMAN STAFF QUARTERS.
PERHAPS THESE ALSO BELIEVED IT. TODAY THEY ARE PRISONERS OF WAR.
