RESULTS OF MUNICH RAID
Recd. 6 p.m. Rugby, March 12. Air photographs snow that in tile K A.F.’s recent raid on Munich the Brown House, the Nazi Barty’ headquarters, was badly damaged, and in addition several important industrial targets were badly hit. Last night’s raid on Stuttgart was the third heavy attack this week by four-engined bombers on a great industrial centre in southern Germany. Like Nuremberg and Munich, Stattgart has some of the most modern and best-equipped war factories both in and around the town. All three towns are strongholds of the Nazi Party, and in all modern factories have sprung up at the same time as important Nazi assembly halls and other buildings.
The substitution of four for twoengined bombers has recently enabled the weight of the attack to be doubled and trebled. Towards the end of the sharp half-hour attack the numerous fires in southern districts had spread into one fierce blaze from which dense black smoke billowed up.—B.O.W.
