It has not been pubished before because the authorl- tles_did_not_want_the_Gersi mans to know that we had such conclusive evidence of the condition and where- abouts of German warships. Kiel is probably the most strongly defended war centre in the whole of Germany.

Yet our almen, in face of ballcen barrage, A.A. fire, and possible interception from fighters, were nule to go over Kiel in daylight to take a series of remarkable photograplus.

Tell-Tale Oil

At the time they were taken nearly every acre of water in the spacious harbour was streaked with oll, na the picture on the left, which ta ninde up of three of the photographs, plainly shows.

Not long before the day on which the pictures were obtained the RAF had carried out a heavy night raid on Klel, and our pilota then reported particularly large fires, The tell-talo streaks of oli in the

plcture almost certainly prove that oil installations were badly hit during the rald. Well-known German warships. battered in various degrees, are scea undergoing repair. They include the Scharnhorst, 20,000-tona battle-cruiser. lying helpless in a foaling dock, show- ing unmistakable signs of bomb havoc, and the pocket batllcstrip Lutzow (formerly the Deutsch- land) in dry dock with severo damage to the stern following a torpedo attack by British submarine.

The Graf Zeppelin, 19,250 tona Laircraft carrier, which at the time the pictures were taken was being completed at Kisl, had been moved from hor berth when further photographs were obtained a few daya later.

LONDON, Mar. 18 (Reuter). The unity and determination of the British people to stand firm and carry on to win the war was the theme of a broadcast speech by Mr Herbert Morrison, the Home Security Minister, 10- night.

He was urging the people to read and study carefully the leaflet just issued by his Ministry informing them what to do in case of Invasion.

Invasion, said Mr Morrison, was A

vital subject for though the blaze of war might leap from Europe, to Africa or Asia, there could be no real Nazi victory unless It won here-in und around this Istond.

No Secret "I am giving away no secrets," Mr Morrison went on, "If I tell you that

He emphasised the necessity of carrying on the country's work to the utmost capacity and concluded with the exhortation, "Stand firm. Carry on. Beat the invader."
