Flying Fortresses bombed docks
and warehouses of Rotterdam
and freight yards at the Ger
man city of Hamm by daylight
today following a heavy Raj
attack last night on Hamburg
in the round-the-clock air Of
fensive.
Officials announced that five
of the heavy bombers failed, TO
return, but at least IA enemy
planes were destroyed. Results
were declared good, despite ad-
verse weather conditions.
The original communique an
nouncing the operations against
the Netherlands port and Hamm,
140 miles to the east, mentioned
no losses.
Dispatches from the Allied
base from which the Rotterdam
raid was sprung said that all
those bombers returned with but
negligible damage and it de-
scribed German fighter defenses
as weak.
The Berlin Radio, however,
broadcast report by DNB that
seven multi engined American
bombers were shot down during
the morning over western Ger
many.
The Allied blows were dis
closed in the wake of two Nazi
night raids upon London. Ten
British bombers failed to return
from the assault upon Hamburg
and associated forays against
other targets in western Ger
many, which marked the eighth

Russian armies have left recap

drive westward from that fallen
fortress and are pushing forward
steadily on the Northwestern
front in the offensive opened by
Marshal Semeon Timoshenko,
while south of this vast strategic
area the front has been straight
ened with the capture of Igov

authorities said today.
A special .ommunique last

This series of triumphs, hard
on the heels of the eight-day
Timoshenko offensive pointed
toward Staraya Russia after the
capture Of Demyansk and Ia
luchye, west of the Valdai hills,
led the Moscow radio to exclaim:
THE capture of Lgov and
