DEVASTATION IN COLOGNE
DAMAGE TO SUBMARINE EHGINE WORKS (Rec. 10.5 a.m.) RUGBY, July 18. At least 1,000 acres were devastated in Cologne on June 28, and much damage has been done to the submarine engine works. So much smoke hung over the city after the raids on June 28 and July 3 that the interpretation of the photographs is difficult. Reconnaissance a week after the raids revealed that fires were still burning. Many important factories were badly damaged, also railways and barracks. The air assault on Germany and the occupied countries has been aimed at dislocating traffic, and the damage to factories is likely to cause a bottleneck in production replacements. Reports from France indicate _ that the Germans are experiencing serious transport difficulties because of replacement difficulties, attacks on trains, aud coal shortages.
