BERLIN, June 3.-GP-A tremen-
dous blow aimed at destruction OF
the French army appeared tonight
to be the next Nazi as Ger
many claimed at least 100000 French
and British prisoners among the
gains of her three-week plunge
through Flanders.
This figure, called preliminary
by the high command, is about half
of the number of British and French
the Nazis have said were trapped in
Flanders. 1t does not count Belgians
and Dutch or the number of Allies
killed in the fierce fighting for the
, English channel ports.
Much Booty
A statement on war materials

The main German attack, however,

in a raid on Paris-the first of the
war on the French capital-and re
peated raids on the industrially I'M
portant Rhone valley and Marseille
areas.
Nazis generally interpreted this as
the prelude to a smashing onslaught
against France with all the might OF
the German armies wherever an op.
ening appears.
Whether it is to follow immedi,
ately or await a breathing spell from
the exhausting drive to the coast,
Germans could not say, but the Nazi
watchword has been mo rest fol

France, asserted tonight that lone

Oil Tanks Hit
Although the high command gave
no details of the second air assault

1t also suggested that an attack on
