"Reuter" Story Of Berlin Raid MANY DIRECT HITS WERE
REGISTERED
LONDON, Sept. 1 (Reuter)—Impor- tant military objectives were attacked by R.A.F. bombers which flew to Berlin last night for the fourth time in the past week, states the Air Ministry news service.
Visibility was mostly poor and west of niso Berlin, the whole region for 70 miles was covered with low cloud. An occasional break in the cloud allowed the pilots a beglimpse of one of the many lakes about the
city and so determined their positions.
The experience of large Frale marketing gained in this war will b of great value when the problem of a Fernstructed Europe
solved after the war.

At the same time other raiders were attack- |ing a lighting installation in the western part of the city, and as their high explosive bombs fell on the target there was a blinding flash and then a fire, which could be seen 20 miles away.
The raiders who failed to locate the Berlin targets because of the cloud bombed objectives in other parts of Germany and Holland.
A line of bombs fell across a railway at Hildesheim junction and many aerodromes were attacked, including Lastrup and Arhed, where

Other heavy bombers attacked the Union Rheinische Brynkohlen Kraficstuff Works at Wes- seling and Cologne, causing fires and heavy ex- plosions.
DIRECT HITS
The Bayer explosives and filling factory at Lverkusen, near Cologne, was also bombed but cloud prevented observation of the results.
Direct hits were scored on
a neighbouring aerodrome.
The bombing of an ammunition factory Spich resulted in several fires.

At intervals throughout the night relays of nircraft dropped very heavy bonibs on docks and shipyards at Emden.
Despite intense anti-aircraft fire and grent searchlight activity, all our aircraft succeeded in bombing the targets.
According to one pilot, the number of air- craft over Emden at the same time must have confused the searchlight crews who were ap parently incapable of holding any bombers long enough to give the anti-aircraft gunners a reason- able target.
Although ground haze prevented entirely necurato observation of the results, it seems clear that considerable damage was done.

were brought out of Cherbourg on June 18. The achievement was remark- able not only because it contrasted with the unavoidable dumping of so much other British war equipment but for the fact that only 50 minutes before leaving, the battery had been in position covering the embarkation of troops.
