the German version. NN
More than thousand fully loaded bombing planes
conducted the raid Cologne, again according to the
British with the Germans UNDERSTANDABLE vague about
the numbers of planes involved
Two nights later, raid of similar proportions and
apparently with similar effect conducted against the
neighborng cities of Essen Dortmund and Dusseldorf
which with Cologne constitute the industrial heart of
Germany.
Since the realistic British stick gmy and pretty close
to about their operations may be accepted
that one of the destructive aerial actions in history
has been concluded.
And since the pledged British policy is to conduct
such raids frequently and increasing scale there viii be
more German cities in rubble and ashes.
THUS there is a beginning of the thousand bombers
night offensive against Germany "a herald of
what Germany will city by city" Prime Minister
Churchill promises.
- The German nation, which ieesea this fffshtfH war
upon the world is getting its horror back kind
is learning that horror the to horror, and
of that the to the arplane weapon in
war is greater numbers and superior production of air
planes.
Germany tried very hard to win this while she
had more aplanes and greater production of aplanes
than her enemies.
The Germans made rubble of Warsaw and Rotterdam
and Coventry, and much of London.
But the Germans mscalculated their advantage, and
did not win the
THEY can never win it
The advantage they once held is gone forever
They have lost superiority in the Skies and thus have
lost the war
very hard war, and perhaps very long war But the
ultimate victory longer ssue-only the price of
victory remaining to be determined,
Still in England there skeptics saying the
cannot be with airplanes-mostly because Ger
many did not win with early and aerial
advantage.
The skeptcs forget what the Germans themselves
forgot
They forget that it the NEW factor of ncalculable
and nexhaustibe American production which has come
into and changed the picture.
GERMANY would indeed have the she
VI calculated, if America had not come into the
against her.
England was all but knocked out of the and
would surely have lost the war; the hope of American
assistance had sustained her and the actual fact
of American participation had not rescued her.
Nowhere in the world is there any counterpart of that
American hope and participation to sustain and
Germany.
Sensible Germans foresaw and understood this in
exorable fact but sensible Germans did not rule Germany
Maniacs and glutons for power and evil arbiters of
German desnes the which led first to Poland
then Norway and the low countries through France
to the very shores of England and BACK to the
rubble and ashheaps of Cologne
THE United Nations will win this with arplanes,
and are winning it.
They will defeat Germany with airplanes
They have already largely defeated Italy
They will inevitably defeat Japan.
And the airplanes with which the victories Of the
United Nations will be accomplished and being
accomplished will come steadily and increasingly and
whemngly from the production of the United States
and the great skill and unconquerabe spirit of the Amer
lean people.
The civilized world has always looked to America for
hope
Now it is looking, and not in vain, to America for VIC
tory and peace
Perhaps il will learn in time to look to free and
nsnctvely peaceful American democracy for EXAMPLE.
