Drive in East
LONDON, Tuesday, March 27
(A;- U. S. heavy bomber, strik
ing from bases in both Britain
ad Italy, attacked German in
dustrial targets ahead of the Rus
sian eastern offensive yesterday
arid during the night RAF Mos
quito bombers followed up with
their 35th consecutive bombing of
Berlin.
A staff officer of the U. S.
Eighth air force said the Ameri
can bombers were able ty. switch
their attention from western to
eastern Germany because the sit
uation in the west was "well
enough in hand to warrant a shift"
For the first time in a week
American heavy bombers - went
back to the familiar job of blast
ing German oil refineries. A force
of more than 300 Flying Fortresses
escorted by 450 Mustangs attack
ed two oil plants, a gun factory
and an armored car works in
southeastern Germany.
Flying Fortresses of the U. S.
15th air force lent their support
to the Russian drive by attacking
rail yards at Szonbathely, Brueck,
Straszhof and Wiener Neustadt in
Austria and Mustangs raked rail
lines between Vienna and Czecho
slovakia. 109,000 Workers Idle
