SECOND EDITION "BERLIN RAID"
WEIGHT OF ATTACK UNUSUAL SEVERITY MANY GIANT PLANES By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Reed. 1.45 a.m.) LONDON. Nov. 23 The Berlin radio reports that a large number of British four-engined bombers carried out last night's raid on Berlin. A Reuter correspondent comments that the German public was told about the raid in the first news bulletins to-day. It is quite unusual for the German radio to give raid news in the first bulletins. The departure from the normal practice seems to indicate that the damage was on an unusually heavy scale. "Berlin is being 'Hamburged.' That is the meaning of German reports on the heaviness of the Royal Air Force raid last night," says the aviation correspondent of the British United Press. "If the R.A.F. is able to maintain the rate of attack during the winter, using as large a number of planes as at present* is available, Berlin should be wiped out as an administrative and industrial centre by the spring. It will not be an easy task but another 20 or 25 raids of the magnitude of last night's should do the job."
