It Was Beautiful— Really Beautiful
Received Friday, 9.45 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 25. The Danish Nazi newspaper “National Socialisten’» has published an indignant account of a big meeting held at Copenhagen to celebrate the R.A.F. Mosquitoes bombing of the Diesel Engine Works on January 27th. The newspaper confirms the success of the raid by quoting the chief speaker at the meeting, Lieut.Coionel Bjarkov, Denmark’s leading airman, as saying: “The attack was an ideal example of assault, livery third bomb fell bang on the target. It was beautiful—really beautiful.” Colonel Tillisch, officer commanding the Danish Lifeguards, arranged the meeting at which all men wore R.A.F. emblems. The newspaper adds: ‘‘The meeting ended with God Save the King and a Union Jack fluttering on a cinema screen.”
