You will remember that Nazi Leading-Aircraftman Francke' received promotion and the Iron Cross (1st and 2nd Class) for outstanding courage in the face of the enemy. He had "sunk" the British aircraft-carrier Ark Royal. Said Gooring. Said Goebbels. Said Hitler. And Die Wehrmacht, Gorman news-magazine, illustrated the war's most extraordinary feat the Sinking of a Warship that is Still Afloat. "A 1,200fb.
bomb hits the enemy vessel," it is headed, and the artist gives
his "impression" of a direct hit ending the life of the Ark Royal. 'All the attacking planes,” of course. "returned.

Nazis Short
Of Men and
Materials
NAZI shipbuilding yards engaged on the construction of U-boats are short of skilled labour and material,
The Stettin yard, which is naval engaged exclusively un work, has had to increase work- ing hours. Only in this way is the yard able to keep up its turn- over. The lack of skilled men is acute.
Kripps too, according to reporis from Geunan sources, are experienc- Ing the same dificulty. Another yard affecter is the famous Blom and Voss concern at Homburg.
Ships Undelivered
At the outbreak of war there was large number of ships under con- struction in German yards for for- eign countries in exchange for frozen credits. Many of these vessels are still undelivered owing to the lock of materials.
Germany's claims that she can balance her submarine losses by new boats are vastly exaggerated, She also claims that In 1017 her U-boat output was one a day and that she expects to Improve on that production,
In actual fact the production of German submarines in 1017_did_not_ approach
nch the figure they claim. For the whole of that year the number commissioned was only 87, varying between four and 12 per month.
Shipbuilding experts with whom I have discussed the question and who know the Geanan yards Intimately ure convinced that the Nazis cannot possibly produce more than six U- bouta quen munth under favourable conditions, And they are being sunk at that rate by the Allied navies.
