GERMAN ONSLAUGHT ON ENGLAND
Forestalled By Invasion LONDON, October 18. The Allied invasion of Europe forestalled a plan by German generals and scientists to destroy England. Correspondents at Field Marshal Montgomery’s headquarters have been shown proof that Germany intended to launch a terrific assault against England. If the invasion had been delayed three months London would have been blasted day and night by a terrific flying bomb barrage, and English provincial towns would have become flying bomb targets. German military maps captured by British troops near Brussels indicated that after the flying bomb offensive had devastated England, the Germans intended to invade the country». Eire was also to have been invaded. With the maps were photographs of the coast of England and the approaches to English aud Irish towns. Military objectives were indicated in red.
