BERLIN'S SEA PORT SEVERELY BOMBED
THE OBSERVER of one British bomber reported at least twelve big fires, and another counted eight more, as a result of his own bombing, when the R.A.F. raided Stettin on Thursday night, says the Air Ministry news service.
It is recalled that the R.A.F. six weeks ago caused immense havoc at the great synthetic cil plant at Stettin, which has or had an on- nual output of over a million metric tons of motor fuel. It was then left gutted and four of its six massive chimneys crashed down.
