 Night Attack
BY WALLACE CARROLL Limited Press Staff Correspondent


 London, Sept. 27 = U.P0 Ger man air fleets smashed at British defenses in one of the most severe morning raids of the war today but lost an estimated 25 planes in a series of furious air battles.
 The German attacks were in re- taliation for tremendous British bombardment of Nazi bases from the French side of the English Channel along the coast to the Kiel naval base and the Baltic Sea, aided by a secret ladder" plan that in- tensified the effects of bombing raids.
 The NaZ raids on the London area were made from all directions and with apparent disregard for losses. Seven German planes were seen to crash near Wareham in Dorset, one bomber was blown to pieces in the air near Dorchester when an anti-aircraft shell hit its bomb rack.
 Two Messerchmitt fighter planes plunged in flames near Canterbury. Simultaneously, a squadron of 6( German planes attacked on the southwest roast where British fight CTS tackled them in a big air bat tle,, breaking up their formations and sending them back across the Channel.
 Anti aircraft guns blazed in cen- tral London as the Nazi planes struck again and again, apparently oblivious of losses.
 Bombs which dropped ill South London, one near a factory and an- other on a row of tenementS, were
