WHAT GERMANY CAN EXPECT

By 'September, R.A.F. men say, British bombers will have an ample six hours of night flying in which to sink explosives in Hamburg, Berlin, Leipzig, Mannheim, Nurnberg, and Stuttgart in long bombing sessions. In October night flying will be increased to seven and a-half hours, and Stettin, Koenigsburg, in East Prussia; Frankfmt-am-Oder, Prague in Czechoslovakia, and Munich may come under British bombsights. The heaviest bombers, such a# the Fortresses and Stirlings, should be able to extend their attacks to Posen, Breslau, Rome, and Trieste in Italy, and Vienna in old Austria by November, when 11 hours of darkness cover the bombing lanes over Northern Europe. In the long December nights this longe-range artillery of the air may reach in giant arcs from London to Warsaw and Crakow in Poland, Danzig, and Belgrade in Yugoslavia. These experts predict the R.A.F. will make four times as many attacks and drop four times the weight of bombs it did in the winter of 1940-41. — London bureau of American Associated Press (9/8/41).
