The R-AJ*. is increasing the tempo and,weight of.its attacks in Western Germany, which has suffered enough in the last three months to draw admissions' from Goebbels tiimself.' When the war began the greater part of Germany's war industry lay, first, in the North Sea and Baltic ports and then in a broad belt southwards to Bavaria, Saxony, and Siles"ia, with.concentrations in the Ruhr and Rhine Valley round Berlin arid in Saxony, Silesia, and Bohemia, the western half of Czecho-Slovakia. The coastal areas from Emden to Danzig have been bombed with increasing effect towards the .west.'The Ruhr area and the Rhineland, as far as Mainz and Mflnnheim, have also suffered heavily with a loss of production that must be felt by the Reich's "Wehrmacht," for the Ruhr is still the centre of the heaviest steel industry, with its ample resources of local* coal and iron ore from Lorraine close to hand.
