 Raids Not Heavy
 The air and home security minis tries said of the raid:
 Enemy aircraft attacked London during the night but the raids which ended before midnight, were not on a heavy scale. Fi res were started at several points but they were so promptly dealt with that none assumed serious proportions.
 The communique added that many buildings were damaged and some persons were killed or wounded but that casualties apparently were not heavy.
 Serious damage was done ill raids on towns in other parts of Britain but the raids were light, compara- lively, and there were few casual ties.

He pointed cut that they could not be aimed but drifted with the wind and hence were intended merely for deliberate negligent slaughter
