An Intruder also shot down an aircraft over Holland last night. The enemy reported once again Allied bombers over the Reich this morning. Air battles were also reported. Yesterday's 2000 aircraft attacked an aircraft factory at Oranienburg near Berlin and a target further away. 19 bombers and 6 fighters are missing from these operations and 13 enemy planes were destroyed. Moscow reports further progress towards Sebastopol and a successful defense outside the Carpathians. On the Crimea Balaklava fell in Russian hands. East of Stanislaw the Germans are counterattacking. One Russian unit alone repelled 15 counterattacks. The Germans sent dive bombers to help in this area. From the Russian raid on Constanța only one of their bombers is missing. In Italy the bad weather stopped practically air activity. 9 enemy planes were destroyed and we lost 8. 4 enemy raids against our beachhead positions were repulsed with heavy loss
