Current Bombing of Nazis
Convincing Demonstration
Of .Allied Aerial Supremacy
By LOUIS r. XEEMLE
United Press War Analyst.
The heavy bombing raids carried out during the last two days
and nights against Germany and occupied or satellite territory is
the most convincing demonstration yet of Allied air might over
Europe. '
There have been heavier single attacks, but this latest assault
Is remarkable for It sustained quality and the wide area covered
ever a period of 36 hours. The us of the word "raid" Is a mis
nomer. This is in every sens a military offensive, and from all
account, a profitable destructive one.
Wide Territory Covered
A review of the target Indicate the scope of the operation.
The field covered northern France; Bremen, the most important
remaining German North sea port; Frankfurt and Mannheim
Ludwigshafen in southwestern Germany; Augsburg, farther south;
Innsbruck, Austria, at the northern end of the Brenner pass; Sofia,
capital of Bulgaria, and the Eleusls airfield near Athens. From
Bremen to Athens is nearly 1.500 miles.
This wld range, hitherto impracticable, has been mad
possible by the establishment of long rang bomber bases in the
Mediterranean, notably Italy. The important fields around Foggia
in Italy art now apparently in full operation. This makes possible
a two-way squeeie covering nearly all target of consequence In
Germany as well as Austria, beside bringing any part of the
Balkans within convenient range.
Increasing Force In Prospect
Changing winter weather conditions and the need for regroup
ing air squadrons after raids which are necessarily epensive in
bombers and crews limit Allied ability to keep up such an offensive
without interruption. There is nevertheless every prospect that
they will be continued whenever conditions permit, and In Increas
ing rather than diminishing force.
Losses are admittedly heavy, such as the loss of 42 big British
bombers and 25 American In the
However, Allied military authorities Insist that the cost can be
borne and is not too high in relation to the damage caused to the
onemy.
The attack are by nature strategic and are intended to cripple
the enemy's ability to resist when the invasion of western Europe
and the Balkan come. Their full effect cannot be gauged now
but It is likely to become apparent after the land front Is opened.
