BRITISH EXPERTS BELIEVE GERMAN INVASION NEAR
By WALLACE CARROLL
Special to the "Telegraph"
LONDON, SEPT. 10 (UP). RESPONSIBLE BRITISH AUTHORITIES TO-DAY STUDIED THE NEW REPORT OF NAZI PREPARA- TIONS FOR A POSSIBLE TRANS-CHANNEL ATTACK.
The belief is growing in London that the intensified air raids may well be an overture to the | long-threatened attempt at invasion.
Exports point out that before launching an invasion, Germany would naturally try to cripple the great port of London and smash the British network of communications in order to divert the strength of the Royal Air Force from the coastal regions,
Detalls regarding the evidence of preparations for an invasion which were noted on the French shore have not been made public, but it seems apparent that the Germans have set up new for ward acrodromes and have some possibly concentrated heavier warships at ports closcat to Britain.
