THE NAZI AIR FORCE LOST AT LEAST EIGHT BOMBERS ON SUNDAY NIGHT TO THE FIRE OF BRITISH NIGHT, FIGHTERS, A.A. GUNS AND A DESTROYER WHEN THE PRINCIPAL tar- GETS WERE NORTHERN IRELAND AND NORTH-WEST ENG- LAND INCLUDING FOR THE FOURTH NIGHT IN SUCCES- SION MERSEYSIDE.
M
The destroyer Southdown, it became known. last night, raised the night's total to just half that of Saturday night when she was attacked by a twin-engined German bomber.
Her fire caused the raider to burst into flames and crash into the sea, and Southdown proceeded on her course without having suf- fered any casualties.
After four days and
nights of raids Liverpool YUGOSLAV
is carrying on.
Following a special meeting of the city's Emergency Committee, special arrangements were con- sidered, and a statement was issu- ed saying that Liverpool had passed through a serious trial. The Committee expressed its great appreciation of the spirit in which citizens had met the crisis.
It was a great inspiration, the Committee added, to know that Liverpool had not been behind other cities in its rea isation of the importance of maintaining the steadiness of civic life.
