BERLIN AIR-RAID BUNKER WITHSTANDS T.N.T. CHARGES
Berlin, Sept. 27.
British army engineers had another attempt today to bring down Berlin's great air raid bunker and anti-aircraft tower in Tiergarten. Fifty thousand lbs of T.N.T. at the first attempt did not even crack the heavy reinforced concrete. Engineers today concentrated on one corner, using 80001bs of T.N.T. The explosion shook the ground over a wide area but the wall only bulged slightly, and a crack appeared in one place.
