R.A.F. STRIKES BACK
HEAVY RAIDS GERMANY, HOLLAND, BELGIUM AND FRANCE BERLIN SINGLED OUT London, Sept. 10. Last night the R.A.F. heavily bombed military objectives in Germany, Holland, Belgium, and France. Three of our machines failed to return. Berlin came in for special notice and heavy attacks were carried out for two hours. The people in the city went to their shelters after hearing bombs bursting in the suburbs. They did not wait for the sirens. The effects of the raids are not disclosed, and there is a heavy penalty for repeating any news of damage whatsoever. Neutral reports filter through however, despite the fact that neutral observers are no longer taken bn touhs of the cities and factory areas. Some workers are said to have refused to work owing to lack of, sleep and , other big, factories are gutted. A number of armament works have been removed to Czechoslovakia.
