MORE NAZI RAIDS
ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND BIG FIRES IN FRANCE HEAVY EXPLOSIONS HEARD (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Aug. 16, 11 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 15 German planes desultorily raided coastal areas in North-East Scotland and South-West England, also Wales, in the morning. A Heinkel was shot down in open country near a Scottish town. Two members of the crew were killed and one sent to hospital. A bright light over France was periodically visible from a Channel port early today. A big fire apparently is burning between Calais and Le Havre. High overhead the intermittent throb of aero engines is heard, probably German. Simultaneously heavy explosions were audible for hours across the Channel. Destruction by Germans The German High Command states: Despite bad weather our air units yesterday effectively bombed harbour works at Cardiff, Weston and Portland, a power station between Brighton and Lewes, armament works near Worcester and Salisbury, military barracks at Aldershot, and aerodromes elsewhere.
