IT'S HELL Germans Flee From British Raids
AS R.A.F. 45,000 Nazis Leave ALHAMBRA THEATRE ATTACKS Hamburg For Paris
Swede's Tribute
A tribute to the effectiveness of an R.A.F. dive-bombing at- tack on a German port in the
Baltic is paid by a Swedish sea- man in an interview printed in the Swedish newspaper Ny Dag.
The raid he describes was followed by others nearly every night during the three weeks ho remained there.
"The Germans lie in their offelal reports when they say that the British aircraft caused little damage and did not hit military objectives."
"The English are not backward when it comes to using their dive- bombers. One night hell broke loose a couple of hundred yards from our bont. That was from an attack by only one English 'plane. But those on board it knew their job.
Surprise Attack
Food Shortage
THE population of the Rhineland and North-West German areas and towns most subjected to R.A.F. bomb-. ing is now being evacuated to France on a large scale.
Forty-five thousand German refugees, officially evacuated from Hamburg, have arrived in: Paris, where they are being quartered in flats and houses standing empty there.
Many thousands more are being distributed over the North-East de. partments of France.
Latest arrivals from Paris say that the food problem there is already the un- Acute, though less so than occupied
