American Bombers
Blast Nazi AirfieId
Al Polk, France
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Aug. 27.-American
medium bombers, escorted by
fighter squadrons, attacked the
enemy airfield at Polk in North
ern France today in a continual
ton of daylight blows at Nazi
concentrations across the Chan
mel, 1t was announced.
The formations roared across the
coast of Kent at 8 am. g am.
EWT, flying at a great height in
cloudless skies.
An Air Ministry communique said
RAF bombers laid mines in enemy
waters last night and naval aircraft
damaged four enemy minesweepers
in attacks on shipping in the Eng
lish Channel. All the planes re-
turned.
American Marauoer medium
bombers with Spitflre escort paid
bombing visit late yesterday to
Nazi airdromes at Caen in Nor
mandy. Good bombing results were
reported. One Canadian Spitflre
downed two enemy fighters.
Anniversary Of London Raid.
Last night was the third ami
versary of the first big German air
attack on London, but the night
passed without sign of any Nazi
raiders.
The Germans now presumably had
enough worries of their own, par
ticularly in Berlin from which the
population was reported rapidly scat
tering to escape future raids.
The British Broadcasting Corp.
said the Nazi government branches
were preparing to move to occupied
territory. Gestapo Chief Heinrich
Himmler's Ministry of the Interior
presumably was headed for Prague,
BIC said.
The broadcast said the Foreign
Ministry might go to Vienna, the
Ministry of Education to Posen and
the Labor Ministry to Krakow.
A Reuters report from Stockholm,
which quoted traveller from Ger
many, said the Reichchancellory
was hit in the saturation bombing
of Berlin by the RAF Monday night.
The same source said an unprece-
dented number of S. S. troops ap-
peared on the capitals streets the
next day, simultaneously with Him
mlers appointment as Reich admin
istrator and Interior Minister.
Dispatches from Stockholm last
night said smoke was still swirling
over much of Berlin and thousands
of persons camped under the stars
outside the city as Nazi authorities
sought to buck up the population
to face new raids.
Told They Must Hold Out.
"We must hold out" said DR..
Robert Ley, Hitlers trade union
commissioner, writing in the news
paper Der Angriff on Monday
nights raid, which was reported from
neutral sources to have caused
tremendous damage.
These are hard days and often
our nations nerves are strained to
the utmost" DR.. Ley continued. THE
enemy is suffering heavy losses also
and by now they must be convinced
OF the strength of our defenses."
BY that last sentence the Nazi
labor leader indicated Berlin was
hit heavily, although the Nazis have
enforced tight control over neutral
correspondents and have endeavored
to prevent news of the extent of the
damage in Berlin from leaking out.
