R.A.F. RAIDERS FLY DEEP INTO GERMANY

THE FINKENHERRD Power Station which is over 300 miles from Germany's western frontier was located and twice attacked with sticks of high explosive bombs which were seen to burst in and around the target, states the Air Ministry News Service, describing R.A.F. raids on Tuesday night on enemy pow- er stations, aerodromes and sea ports.

The Hanover aerodrome was bombed from a high level but to the north of Emden, a British raider came down to 2,000 feet and dropped bombs on the hangar and runway.

Night Aying by the enemy was in progress at the time of the at- tack. A parachute flare revealed the wreckage of the hangar des- troyed in the previous attack.

Other forces of bombers operat- ing at short range kept up nightly hammering on enemy invasion poris, while these long distance ra'ds were being carried out, from Hamburg to Le Havre.

a series of attacks lasting nearlyį seven hours.
