AXIS IS HOPING

Mass Raid On Coventry Is
Seen As Opening Blow
OF Big Offensive
BY PRESTON L.. GROVER

BERLIN, Nov. 16.-CP-Ger
many's concentrated air attacks on
Britain recently - with threats OF
more to come and the German
Italian high command consultations
are signs, German observers say, of
a new Axis bid for victory before
a second war winter ends.
Expert sources describe the furi'
GUS assault on Coventry, one of Eng
lands manufacturing %centers, as a
part of an effort to bring Britain
to her knees before increasing Unit
ed States aid makes the task more
difficult.
New German air raids today on
London, Hastings, Southampton and
down the Thames estuary to the
coast at Southend were reported by
DNB, official German news agency.
Docks and warehouses burned in the
center of London, it said, and hits
were scored on a railroad and docks
at Southampton. p
AS the Coventry attack was de-
scribed as retaliation for the Brit
ish air raid on Munich the night
Adolf Hitler was there, Nov. 8, Sc
today did Nazis threaten another
devastating air blow to avenge- a
British bombardment of Hamburg
Friday night.
The high command acknowledged
damage to the great port, but de-
clared it was "in no proportion with
the number of attacking planes"
Neutral observers, without pre-
tending to know what actually is
planned, commented that Italy's far
from blitzkrieg campaign in Greece
