HAVOC AT TRONDHEIM
GERMAN U-BOAT BASE DEVASTATING AIR RAIDS (Rec. 0.30 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 19. Accordmg to reports reaching Stockholm, three and a-half years of hard work on the German U-boat base of Trondheim by thousands of Norwegian and foreign workers was undone in less than as many minutes by the American air raid on July 24. The only undamaged spot within the target area was a concrete shed for six U-boats.
All buildings and workshops were destroyed, and the gasworks were irreparably damaged. A German floating dock, one destroyer, a U-boat, four tugs, and a merchantman in the' harbour were sunk or badly damaged.
