u. S..Made Bombers
Reported Spreading
Fear in Nazi Areas
London Circles See
indication of Breuk
In German Crust
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
: LONDON, Aug. 14.-Britain'S new
weapon, the American-made fort
ress bomber, is spreading fear and
contributing to an awakened spirit
of revolt. in Germany and occupied
Europe, say dispatches reaching i'm
portant quarters here by devious
means.
The remorseless pounding of Ger
many by the huge planes which fly
out of sight and sound of their VIC
Tins and the stubborn resistance OF
the Russian armies are allowing q
seething resentment and anger to
come to the surface from Norway to
Italy, these quarters said.
Informed circles say these reports
may indicate the first break in the
German crust, but warn that 1t
would be premature to expect open
revolt this summer or autumn.
One source with a secret means
of communication in Central Europe
said reports were being spread by
word of mouth from end to end OF
Germany of the lethal power OF the
fortress bombers.
Civilians Declared Terrified.
people are frightened by what
they cannot see," he said. THE
Germans cannot see the fortresses,
but they can see the damage they
do. This silent, invisible weapon
terrifes not only civilians in Ger
many, but garrisons in the occupied
nations"
The fact that they are known to
be from the resources of America
contributes to the undermining OF
morale, it was said.
One informant said packed hos
pital trains from the eastern front
had created doubt in Berlin and
Hamburg, which were Communist
strongholds until the rise Of Adolf
Hitler.
It is noteworthy, this informant
added, that these two cities have
been bombed heavily recently.
A winter of stalemate on the east
ern front and heavy bombing from
the British, most British and neu-
| trail observers expect, will increase
the distaste for a longer war IN
Germany and her satellite states.
Although Norway and the Neither
lands have been the sources OF the
most spectacular opposition to the
Nazis, some sources expect the great
est upheaval in public opinion will
occur in France.
One Free French source said,
Don't forget there still are some
arms and ammunition in unoccu-
pied France. When the French de-
eide to use them blood will run and
it will not all be German blood
either"
The ancient animosity between
| Gaul and Teuton is stirring, he said,
"as our people look to the skies and
see the growing strength OF Britain
and to Vichy to see their own be-
! trayal.
Beneath the surface all France
is moving and stirring. We waited
4S years for the great revenge of
1915. We shall not wait so long
this time"
All informed air sources predict a
wide expansion of r. A. F. and Rus
sian bombing activity.
Yesterdays raid will be consid-
cred small-scale in month or so,
said one source.
