KEPT IN DARK
Germans Unaware Of Air Losses British Official Wireless (Received October 13, 6.30 p.m.) RUGBY, October 12. An interesting feature of comment by the German news service on the Air Ministry communique of October 8 which exposed the German High Command technique of admitting each day only a fraction of Germany’s heavy air losses over Britain has not passed unnoticed here. Germany violently assailed this British communique which gave details of personnel and types of machines destroyed, but it is observed that Germany has given an unconvincing reply to a plain statement of inco. '-avertible fact. Although It received much attention in foreign broadcasts it finds no place in the German services for home consumption. In order presumably to check any tendency that might be shown there to question the accuracy of the High Command communique, the topic has been withheld from the German public which remains in ignorance of the extent of the German air losses in attacks on Britain.
