Dropped on Roll Hub

A giant fleet of Raj bombers,
described as the greatest ar
mada ever sent out from Britain
in four years of war, smashed at
Hitler's Europe last night In a
dusk to dawn assault which
blasted the German raj, hub of
Nuremberg and spread over the
Ruhr, Nazi-occupied France and
the Low Countries.
Unoficial estimates placed the
size Of the attacking force at more
than 1000 bombcrs. Thirty-three
planes were lost.
A British Air Ministry bulletin
said the RAF,s four-engined raiders
hit the Nazi shrine city of Nuern-
berg IN very heavy attack" and
reports so far received indicate the
attack was well concentrated"
London said there was every In
dication the raiders unleashed more
than 1,500 tons of explosives on the
city of 430 700, exceeding the last
blow against Nuremberg on August
10 when As, 200 we're reported to have
been left homeless and $500 killed.
62 Planes Shot Down, Nazis Say.
Berlin asserted that "at least SO"
OF the raiders were shot down-the
greatest single nights loss of the
war II true-and declared that
American Terror planes" joined in
the assault. There was nothing in
London to suggest that the Ameri-
can Air Force actually took part.
A Transocean propaganda agency
broadcast from Berlin said mainly
old residential quarters of the old
section Of the town" were hit--as

strategic or military objectives
which may have suffered.
Nazi radio bulletins, issued as
thickly as on the day after the 1000

ties.
Nuremberg Is in Southeast Ger

the second city of Bavaria and a
center of German chemical plants,
machine shops and factories pro-
ducing Diesel engines for U-boats
and tanks. Nazi party festivals are
held there in peacetirne.
Parade Begins at Dusk.
Watchers on the English coast said
the RAF's monster parade through
enemy skies began shortly after
dusk, and dawn was breaking when
the last OF the bombers crossed the
Strait Of Dover on their return trip.
The Nazi-controlled Vichy radio
said the Raj was over Northern
France again this morning. carrying
