A report was given about the landing of our Lancasters on an airfield. From Dover great columns of black smoke were seen over the French coast. In raids on this country one raider was destroyed. Small damage was caused but no one was hurt. The enemy sent over a small number of planes. Hard fighting continues at Cassino. A counterattack was repulsed and prisoners were taken. Heavy bombers attacked Balagua [?] and Verona and mediums bridges whereas fighters attacked railway yards in Greece and shipping on the Dalmatian coast. Our planes made 1000 sorties and some 60 enemy planes operated over the battlefield. 7 planes were destroyed and we lost 4 planes. Both Antonescus [?] were summoned to Hitler's headquarters and there are reports about more troops into Slovakia and Romania. The newly formed government in Hungary is under the leading of the minister at Berlin. A German beachhead around the Bug was wiped out. Only 2 other bridgeheads remain on the Eastern side of the Bug
