the Germans already have three
times as many fighters in Western
Germany as they did in Tunisia at
the height of the North African
campaign.
More than 1000 heavy anti-air-
craft guns from 80 to 135-milime-
ter caliber were reported to have
been set up in the Ruhr, including
at least 300 concentrated around ES-

MANY SEARCHLIGHTS
Searchlights in the Ruhr valley
probably ,otai at least 500 and large
cities, Sl;ch as Frankfort and Co.
logne are believed to have 200 each
for their own immediate defense.
Penetrating this "Maginot Line"
of the air, British night raiders
now encounter clusters of 10 to 30
searchlights every five miles. With
the night fighters and guns, these
make Western Germany the most
formidably defended fortress in the
world against air attack.
British experts reported that well
over 100000 Germans now are tied
down in Western Europe manning
the flax and fighter defenSes. Guns
guarding some of the more import
ant cities are mounted on 200-foot-
high concrete FLAX towers" minia-
