STOP PRESS
A heartening effect of Wednes- day's heavy R.A.F. raids in Ger- many, combined with the destruc tion of Nazi bombers over England was reflected in. 10-day's press comments. Says the "Daily Mail" "we ceased to be hunted and were hunters. To-day the R.A.F. is more aggressive than the German Air Force, They are raging all over Europe and beating up the Luftwaffe as they go."
The "Daily Telegraph" sees in the fresh offensive, preparations for a grimmer phase of air war. Writing of Wednesday's bag of nine enemy bombers and others badly damaged by fighters, anti- aircraft guns, and "other devices" the paper says "steady increase of German night losses now assured may become great enough to weaken the raiding squadrons. An- other sound cause for satisfaction appears in the comparative inefficiency of German mea- sures to defeat our night attack. From all farfung raiding over half of the continent and the northern seas, only five of our bombers failed to return."
The
article continues "Attack
is the master word, With men and machines which day by day and night after night are proving superior to their opposite numbers we may be confident in the des truction of the Nazi war machine.”
