RAF. and R.C.A_F. heavyweight bombers attacked the German in-

dustrial city with 1,500 1on3 o! blockbuster explosive. heaping on ~ Dortmund approximately the

The Air Ministry described the raid as “very heavy." Thirty planes were lost, seven of them Canadian.

Size of the attacking force was not announced.

Terrific Eaploslons

plosions and fires calmed by the cascade of four and two-ion block- busters and tens of thousands of inoendlaries dropped on the mo1~

They said the raid was tho heaviest of the year and esti- mated that two-ton bombs were dropping at the rate of four pQr minute in the massive quenching of defences and des- truction of war production.

The official German version from the dolly Berlin communique said:

“Last night British bombers at- tacked western Germany and drop- ped numerous high explosives and incendiary bombs, mainly on resi- dential quarters in the cltv of Dortmund. The population suffer- ed losses. Major damage was caus- ed to buildings in the town.
