Only a week ago, Bremen, with its U-boat building yards and aircraft factories, was badly blitzed by hundreds of Stirling. Halifax, and Lancaster bombers. That raid was described as one of the fiercest of the war. Last night's big raid was the hundredth on Bremen by the R.A:F. arid the seventh so far this month against Germany. ! Other R.A.F. bombers attacked other targets in north-west Germany, ..and. later, at dawn, single bombers-returned-to the scene to drop yet more bombs.Fighter, planes carried out intruder patrols over northern France and Hoi-, land. All these operations cost 10 planes.
