Aid Chief Sees London DefenseIess
Berlin.-The views regarding the de-
fenselessness Of London against air
raids, expressed in the Deutsche Ale
meinezeitung by the anonymous Odys-
seus, have been quickly confirmed by
Colonel Hermann Thomson, former
chief of staff of the German air force,
who organized many air raids on Lon
don and other British towns during
the war and is regarded here as the
greatest expert in such matters. Col
onel Thomson said:
1T is a mystery to me that high
officials in British air circles have
profited so little from their war eX-
perience. London is now almost de-
fenseless. Within a few hours-per-
haps it would take only minutes-the
principal military buildings of the
British capital could be reduced to
heaps Of smouldering ashes"
But the British press recently al
luded to certain measures taken for
London's protection" one of his lis
teners said.
If London has no other protection
than that described in the papers, then
in my opinion it is practically defense
less" he replied.
Colonel Thomson refused to criticize
the British measures for air defense in
detail, but he said:
Il left the German army after the
war, but 1 have carefully watched the
development of aeronautics all over the
world since. Having been in the air
service since 1908, l may be consider
ed an expert. My special study is and
has been problems of air raids and air
defenses. AnC l believe, Colonel
Thomson added sarcastically, that my
studies have not gone entirely unob-
served in England during the war, for
then the British press extensively
printed my photographs with every
significant comment"
