Berlin has its heaviest attack of the war
last night when 2300 tons of bombs were
dropped and our planes went over
in very great strength. The attack
started at 8 o'clock. Beyond the Berlin
attack mines were also laid in enemy
waters and in all 26 of our planes are
missing, which is a very small number
of the aircraft which took part.
Pilots who returned said it was the
coldest trip ever made. Our daylight
offensive continued today when our
planes went out over the Channel.
German reports about large scale
offensive on Italy are not
confirmed by our today's
communique wherein the battle
area is described as a sea of mud
