Netherlands Legation
Tells How Rotterdam
Raid Killed 10000
81 Nuzi Planes Attacked
City After Surrender Of
Army, Says Statement

Thirty thousand persons were
killed during an air attack on Rot
terdam five minutes after the Dutch
Army handed its capitulation to
the German high command, the
Netherlands Legation charged last
night.
Count w. van Rechteren Limpurg
counselor of the Legation, gave this
statement to newspapermen at a
press conference in the absence of
Minister Loudon, who has been i'll.
He said 10000 persons were manned
and injured in the bombing attack,
which lasted seven and one-half
minutes.
"The Legation has received from
the Netherlands government in
London" the statement handed out
by the counselor said, which is "a full
report of the German crime against
the helpless, open and defenseless
city of Rotterdam. With the report
is a map Of the city showing the
destruction wrought, a copy of
which is attached.
Few Bomb Shelters Available.
at would seem inconceivable that
the minds of supposedly civilized
men could plan and order such an
atrocious offense against humanity.
When Rotterdam was bombed, the
Dutch Army capitulation had al
ready been handed to the German
high command
"The Germans say the planes
were in the air and could not be
called back. It is customary for all
military planes to be equipped with
radio and to be directed in their
operations by radio. 1t cannot be
believed that the German air force,
so efficient in other respects, was
deficient in this.
THE crime against Rotterdam
was deliberate, fiendish assault on
unarmed, undefended civilians. The
world knows Rotterdam is built on

marshy soil and therefore adequate
underground bomb shelters could
not be constructed. OF course, the
Germans knew this, too.
81 Planes in Attack.
"The result was the greatest mass
destruction the world has ever
known. In the seven and one-half
minutes the planes were over the
city 10000 people died. Seventy
thousand others were manned and
injured. Not even the volcanoes
of Pelee and Krakatoa took such
horrible toll of life in so short
space of time.
Two groups of q planes each
were responsible for this display
Of barbarism. They dropped 1000
pound bombs. The planes were at
an altitude of 4,5O0 feet.
