theirs in making every effort to

Attack Strongest

Raid on Bremen

Nv u 6 Associated PresE.
LONDON, July 27.-The big
port of Hamburg, Germany S
second largest city and greatest
submarine building center, was
hit hard last night by the Royal
Air Force in its heaviest assault
on the Reich since the 1000
plane bombing of Bremen late
last month.
Although the number of planes
used was less than the 1000 plane
standard set in June, the ROYAL
Canadian Air Force Headquarters
quoted a member of one of four
participating Canadian bomber
squadrons as saying results were
better than the 1000 bomber job
on Bremen"
The weather was perfect and
Hamburg, bathed in moonlight, was
a perfect target.
The Germans fought back more
f1ercely than usual and a Toronto
hight lieutenant, j. D. Pattison
nursed a Wellington back home

engines knocked out and crash

Twenty-nine Raiders Missing.
Without disclosing the number OF
bombers participating in the attack
the sixth on Hamburg this year and
the 91st since the war began-a
communique announced that % of
the raiders failed to return.
(On the basis of losses of
slightly under per cent, which
the British have reported as the
cost of similar recent heavy raids,
this would suggest a striking
force Of at least 600 planes.)
The communique said a "very
strong force" attacked the city of
100000 population, whose Blohm
and Voss shipyards alone are said
to have capacity to build 25
U-boats at time, and whose war
industries. working day and night
include oil refineries, explosives
works and big seaplane factory.
(The German high command
reported fairly heavy civilian
casualties in the raid on Ham
burg and added that "a number
Of buildings, almost all in resi-
Dental quarters, were destroyed
or damaged"
