DAMAGE IN BERLIN
VISITOR’S EVIDENCE Received Feb. 25, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 24. Evidence of the damage done by the R.A.F. in raids on Berlin has been given by an American correspondent who has just returned to New York from the German capital. He described the damage done to a large electrical plant, a chemical plant, the tramway power system, which was put out of action for a time, and also to Berlin’s metropolitan railway. The correspondent said that until the R.A.F. began raids on Berlin last August the people of Berlin believed that the British would not be able to touch the capital because the Nazi leaders had told them so. He went on to say: “News of the effect of a night bombardment spreads through Berlin like wildfire. It is difficult for the authorities to conceal any important damage, even though the heaviest penalties follow the spreading of such news.**
