"GIVING THEM HELL"

R.A.F. Encouragement to Red Army

(Rec. 12.40 p.m.) LONDON, June 7 "Anglichanye dayut zhizn," a i piece of soldiers' slang which can be translated colloquially as "The English are giving them hell," has now widely spread through the Red Army as a message of encouragement, says the Moscow correspondent of "The Times." It was first heard after the B.A.F. raided Rostock and Lubeck. A broadcaster in the Stockholm National Broadcasting Service quoted the belief of Swedish military correspondents that the recent big R.A.F. raids caused the Germans to withdraw planes from the Eastern Front. The British raids are believed to have postponed, at least temporarily, any wide-scale German operations on the Eastern Front.

trict, a large industrial area has been badly damaged. On the east bank of the river at Deutz, the exhibition hall has been destroyed. Close inspection of the photographs reveals, large areas where the damage has been particularly severe. Especially pronounced is the devastation around the main station and the Nippes railway works. The main shop has been gutted. Roofs have been ripped off and walls shattered, and fire completed what the high-explosive bombs began.—B.O.W.
