Raj OFFENSIVE
The British air offensive appeared
to be gathering momentum as
weather conditions improved and
wednesday nights raids on Nazi
targets were described as heavy.
The assault evidently was aimed
at Gripping and disrupting the
supply centers of Germanys an
ticipated spring drive On the Rus
sian front and at preventing Ger
man naval forces from interfering
with the flow of British American
aid to Russias Arctic ports.
The aerial attack, which appears
to have been one of the biggest
yet undertaken by the RAF, coin
cided with a continuation of the
naval l-air struggle for control Of
the Arctic route of supply to Rus
sia and mounting signs that Adolf
Hitler may be ready to start his
spring offensive on the southern
Russian frCnt.
FACTORIES HIT
Attacked by the British armada
which included long grange bombers
of the latest type-some OF them
undoubtedly from the United States
were Nazi-operated war factories
in the Paris suburbs. targets in Bel
gium and Holland, ports, airdromes,
railroad centerS and docks and
shipping at lie Havre, big French
port.
Some of the planes dropped
mines in waters tc bottle up Ger
man Uboat and naval units from
attacks on allied conveys along the
northern supply route, similar to
Cne last week end in which five
Nazi WarshipS and submarines
were either sunk or damaged along
the route to Murmansk by British
warships guarding large convoy.

One of the chief targets for largo

ford factory 10 miles northeast
of Paris, which MAKES motor trucks

armies on the Russian fronts. The
plants previously were bombed

planes also attacked factories IN
