CASUALTIES AND HEAVY DEVASTATION London, Aug. 28. A German communique admits that the R.A.F. raids caused casualties and heavy devastation in residential quarters. Two hundred thousand were killed in the Hamburg bombings, says the New York Times’ Ankara correspondent, citing netural and German reports. Thirty thousand of the victims died in air-raid shelters. The raid on Berlin last Monday was described by neutral sources as “indescribably terrific.” If raids like this continued it would be impossible to stand up against them. The Hotel Adlon district of the city was levelled and vast fires were still raging late on Tuesday.
