SCIENTISTS’ FATE
bombiVg~oTpeenemunde Recd. 6 p.m. London, Aug. 27. Many of Germany’s outstanding scientists and scores of highly-skilled technicians are believed to have been killed in the R.A.F. raid on Peenemunde last week, says the aviation writer of the Daily Mail. “The scientists and technicians working at Peenemunde were sinister, dangerous, and personal foes of every Allied airman,’’ he says. “They are irreplaceable, and the plans for the raid had these ‘back-room boys’ very much in mind.’’ The first hint of the success of the raid was given by the Berlin radio announcement next day that General Chamier Glisezenski, inventor of many of Germany’s secret weapons, had met with a “fatal accident.” Evidence to support the belief that many of his colleagues suffered a similar fate on the night of the raid is provided by pictures of the bomb damage in Peenemunde.
