Preparing For Air Attacks
Germany Plans To
Open Up Old
Air Raid Shelters
Bonn, Apr. 6.
West German civil defence officials say their country will soon lead Europe in providing shelter against air attacks.
West Germany, worst hit of all Europe in the air bombing of the last war, may soon be re- building some of its huge bunker shelters under a four-year civil defence plan now being studied by the Government.
The plan, if adopted, will cost the nation between 1,500 and 2,000 million West marks (about £125,000,- 000 to £166,000,000 sterling).
