could be spared from front line
operations. The terrible battlefield
struggles since the German invas-
ion of Holland and Belgium have
taken such heavy toll of French
aircraft that Hitler has been able to
disregard the possibility of effective
replies by France to his aircraft
assaults on the capital cities of
France. The French, in fact, to safe
guard their civil population, have
proclaimed all places whose inhabi-
tants exceed 10000, to be "open
cities hoping thus to keep Ger
man planes away.
The British have not had to an
nounce such non-belligerent zones
They have challenged the Germans
in the air to far greater extent
than the French by continual bomb
ing of the enemy's reserve positions
and storage centers far in the in
terror of Germany. Indeed, it was
the British, not the Germans, who
took the offensive in behind-the-
line bombing, though holding their
attacks to military detectives.
The Germans thus know that the
British are competent to retaliate
against attacks against civilians.
This fact must have had important
influence on the way Germany is
directing her air tactics.
