R.A.F. CAMPAIGN

AGAINST GERMAN FUEL SUPPLIES

London, To-day.

THE RECENT R.A.F. RAIDS into Germany were the subject of a broadcast talk by a naval expert yesterday; raids whose chief object was to attack the fuel supplies of the German armies on the Western Front, and especially, the flow of fuel. Three main zones are covered by these raids

around Frankfurt; around Aachen, Dusseldorf and Cologne; and around Bremen and Ham- burg.

The raids are systematic and fre- quent, both of fuel dumps hydro- genation plants, and so on, and on the important railway junctions, marshalling yards and bridges.

To destroy the fuel where it is stored and to prevent what remains the from being transported that is real "objective-of-the-raids.

The Germans must keep up that flow of fuel or their effort must flag and fail. So far ав possible they have provided against these attacks. Subsidiary fuol dumps, small in size, are scattered all over

The Hamburg tanks are believed to contain about 1,500,000 tons. Before the war, Hamburg took 4,000,000 tons of imported oil a year. There have been no imports since September.

No one can really estimate how much German oil has been. de stroyed by the R.A.F. bombers, but neutral countrles suggest that in the main storage plants the loss may be

as much as one-third..

Against this, the Germans are seek- ing to put speed, speed against fuel, and hope to complete the major part of their war programme while suf- ficient fuel remains.

But the attacks go on and are re- peated-Cologne, alone, for instance, has been raided four times already.
