BERLIN BATTERED
HEAVY BOMBING BAID GREAT FIRES IN MANY AREAS HAMBURG AND BREMEN ALSO ATTACKED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, March 13. Germany last night suffered the heaviest air raids yet carried out by the R.A.F. In these full-scale operations Berlin, Hamburg, and Bremen were the main targets. Berlin received a heavy battering, the most severe it has yet suffered. Great fires broke out in many areas. At Bremen the in- ■ dustrial centre was set alight and at Hamburg the R.A.F. bombers concentrated on the docks with telling effect. The raid on Berlin was the first made for some months, but it was the thirtyseventh since the war. Hamburg has suffered 67 raids and Bremen 57. This large-scale offensive is regarded i as an appropriate sequel to the stirring speech of the Secretary for Air, Sir 'I Archibald Sinclair, yesterday, when he announced that Britain had achieved air ascendancy over Germany.
