POOR VISIBILITY
NAZI REPORT FOR TUESDAY
(Received August 29, 12.50 p.m.) LONDON, August 28. A German communique stated: "Poor visibility yesterday confined our air force activities to armed reconnaissance, in the course of which bombs were dropped on harbour installations at Gosport. Last night strong German air units attacked harbour works, aircraft factories, and armament plants in England and Scotland. Fires which broke out at Southampton, Aberdeen, Derby, the Birmingham docks, and \Chatham particularly showed the effects of the raids. "A U-boat sank 28,600 tons of British merchant shipping in a strongly protected convoy. German naval guns shelled and probably destroyed two submarines off the French coast."
