European Front

The RAF, which on April 1st cele-
brated its 25th birthday, and American
flying units continued to carry the war
to Germany and German-held bases on
the Channel coast, the most important
raid being on Berlin in the early hours
of Sunday morning when 900 tons of
bombs, double the heaviest load ever
turned loose over London, rained down
with destructive effect on the German
capital, and placed tremendous task
before Marshal Goertng If he is to make
good on one of his boasts.
At the outset of the war Goering de-
clared, "We shall not expose the Ruhr
to even one single bomb from an enemy
aircraft" When the British settled that
one emphatically, Goering proclaimed on
January II, 1941, Remember that the
German air force can do 100 to 1000
times times more damage than the Bri-
tish ever do us"
Nearly 1000 Berliners were said to have
been killed in the raid on Saturday night
which was followed by another heavy
attack on the U-boat base at st. Nazaire.
Rouen, Rotterdam, Liege, and various
industrial centers in the Ruhr were
visited during the week in raids of con-
siderable intensity, giving rise to ears in
Germany that they were preludes to the
opening of an invasion of the continent.
Evening star., 1943-04-04

and saboteurs in plane repair shops are
said to have crippled aircraft so that they
have crashed on their first flights Even
in Bulgaria there have been anti-Fascist
demonstrations and one workman in the
submarine yards is said to have fixed
three U-boats so that they sank shortly
after putting out for trial runs on the
Black Sea.
Finland according to report received
in Buenos Aires, has put out feelers in
the Argentine capital to determine what
the chances of peace might be and Ru-
mania also is said to be sounding out
sentiment. Rumania is believed to have
lost nearly half here military electives
and to have become convinced that an
Axis victory is no longer possible.
There is no confirmation of these re-
ports, but the talk gets around.
There were concrete indications of in
