BOMBING GERMANY
STRIKING AT THE CENTRE. UNDERMINING WAR MACHINE. TWO ASPECTS OF POSITION. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Rec. 12.0 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 19. “Keep the Germans out of their beds and keep the sirens blowing in Germany—that is my motto,” declared Marshal of the Royal Air Force- Viscount Trenchard in a speech at Leeds. “I believe that the work of our great bombers will pave the way to victory. It is the continual striking at the centre of Germany that will cause in their great organisation cracks that will widen slowly but surely. The persistent, relentless effort of our bomber force will undermine and bring about the fall of this great war monster.”
The demand for more use of a greater bombing force against Germany, particularly Berlin, is growing. The “Sunday Express” aeronautical writer asks: “Has the War Cabinet changed its mind about bombing Berlin? Is the Bomber Command holding hack something? If not, why do we never send out more than 300 aircraft on the higher raids? Germany is making most of the respite- and places we bombed last year are being rebuilt underground or being dispersed in occupied countries.”
