said today as Germanys air fleet

Germany last night" the ministry
said in reference to a three-hour
air alarm in Berlin. Targets in
northwest Germany and the Ruhr
were bombed as well as armament
factories in the Berlin area"
dispatches from Berlin said that
incendiary bombs were dropped in
two suburbs, setting fire to small
garden nursery and that one Brit
ish plane was shot down. Heavy but
unexplained explosions were report
ed heard in Berlin)
The British bomber raid on arm
ament factories at the German cap
ital during the night conceded with
renewed German attacks on British
sectors from the northwest to the
southeast coast-where SO persons
were reported killed or wounded in
one town-and at many scattered
points
Raids on one midland city (where
such important factory centers at
Birmingham are located) were the
worst of the war in regard to cas-
ualties as waves of Nazi bombers
dropped incendiary and high ex-
plosive bombs. Two factories were
hit but not seriously damaged, the
British reported.
The ministry of home security
said that municipal and industrial
and residential property was DAM

One German plane was reported
to have crashed into the sea some
distance from the coast. A German
Messerschmitt dove from the clouds
and after long burst from British
machine guns it whirled toward
the earth with great pieces breaking
off its tail and wing.
Thirty seconds after the fuselage
crashed with a burst of flames I
saw the rudder fall to earth.
Another plane spun down crazily
as it's pilot tried to bring it under
control. He, almost succeeded but
not quite. The plane crashed into
the sea off the cliffs where I was
standing.
Five Messerschmitt fighters aim
ed for the balloon barrage, spray
ing the town with bullets and air
cannon shells in their attack. Two
of the balloons came down in
flames.
