FOR THE SECOND NIGHT IN SUCCESSION THE NAVAL DOCKYARDS AT KIEL WERE AMONG THE PRINCIPAL TARGETS ATTACK- ED ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT BY R.A.F. BOM- BERS.
Once again the raiders pressed home the attack in the face of fierce opposition from batteries of heavy and light guns, states the Air Ministry news service.
The bombardment lasted over two hours and many high explosives and incendiary bombs were seen to burst among buildings in the Deutsche Werft and the Germania yards.
One of the pilots said-hé came out over the top of what appear- ed to be a warship and dropped
a stick of bombs which must have straddled the ship.
