NAZIS TRY TIT-for-TACTICS

By Air Commodore P. M. Fellowes, D.S.O.

FOR the time being, at

any rate, the R.A.F. has taken the initiative from the Luftwaffe in the 1941 air war.

The Nazis have been reduced-with certain ex- ceptions to. copying what we do.

Their tactics at the mo- ment are merely "tit-for- tactics."

If we carry out a figh- ter-sweep over the north- east coast of France they do a fighter-sweep over the south-east corner of England.

If we send night-figh- ters to attack night bomb- ers on landing, they at- tempt retaliations..

If we bomb Berlin, they hit back at London. If we bomb Hamburg, they bomb Glasgow. And so

on.

Only in deliberately bombing the civil popula- tion does the Luftwaffe still maintain a line of its own.

Our policy remains limited the enemy's to attacks on means of making war.

In Six Stages Apart from that, and from the concentration on our ports which supports the U-bont campaign in the Atlantic, the Nazis are now tagging along behind us in both strategy and tactics.

And this means that a sixth stage has been reached in the air war.

In the first phase the Ger- mans confined themselves to oversea reconnaissance flights round our coasts, with un occasional flight inland.

They varied this by attack- ing our lightships and traw- lers.

We, at the same time, were carrying out leaflet-dropping flights. It was valuable train- ing.

The second phase in the air war was the attempted de- fence of Holland, Belgium, France and especially Dun- kirk by the R.A.F. against the German dive-bombing at- tacks,

It was during this time that we began our bombing opera- tions on the Ruhr and the German communications in the rear.

/

The third phase, still by day-light, was initiated by the Germans when they attacked our aerodromes and southern seaports and communications, and London, in the battle for Britain.

We, during this phase, con- centrated on our own defence and at the same time began, by night, to bomb industrial targets and German aero- dromes within Germany and the occupied territory.

E

Industrial Targets

The fourth phase was again Initiated by the Germans when they began attacking our com- munications and some of 'our factories by day.

During this time, we still concentrated on attacking enemy industrial targets in Germany and enemy material in the occupied area, mainly by night.

This was in retaliation, probably, for the heavy at- tacks we had carried out on Hamburg, Kiel, Wilhelm- shaven, and so on.

During this phase by day, the Atlantic war by air power was becoming more pro- nounced.

important are devoting an part of their resources to the destruction of surface raiders and submarines at seaports and construction yards in Gor- many and occupied Europe.

When more great bombers and longer range torpedo craft are available, the life of the returning surface raider will become exceedingly hazar- dous.

And now, as I say, a phase in the war appears to have been reached when the Ger- mans are definitely following whatever we do.

The enemy must realise that our potential bombing power is becoming equiva- lent to theirs.

New Attack Methods

The R.A.F.'s methods of combating the Luftwaffe's various attacks on us are now developing, and appear mainly to be taking the direction of smashing the attack before it leaves the ground.

Obviously, this is the most offensive, and, therefore, the most correct, method as far as material is concerned.

The material is; however, not the most important objec- tive. We must strike most of all at the trained personnel.

If we can devise some method of destroying the trained men of the active squadrons, and their morale, we can watch the piling up of German aircraft reserves with complacency.

In this side of the air war we are most advantageously placed.

Our training schools are situated, to a very large ex- tent, in the outer Empire, and therefore out of reach of enemy attack.

The German air schools- i.e., their factories for produc- ing trained bodies are well within our reach, and it is on these schools that we can con- .centrate Our destructive powers.

This policy is a brutal policy, but war is brutal.
