HUGE DEATH ROLL
BOMB IN SHELTER KRUPPS WORKERS FATE BERLIN REFUGE FLOODED (Reed. Dec. 16, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 15. A bomb which was dropped on Krupps’ armament works at Essen penetrated a shelter under the works and killed 400 workers and injured 1800. A recent bomb broke a water main in Berlin and simultaneously blocked a shelter, which was flooded, drowning 700 persons. The British United Press correspondent on the German frontier says he is assured these reports are authentic. They are certainly widely believed in Germany where the facts of the Royal Air Force raids are spreading slowly among the population.
