4.5.1944. 1.= pm.
The air bombardment of the enemy's Europe
goes on from West, South and East.
Last night strong forces of our bombers
attacked a big railway deport southeast
of Reims, one not far from Amiens and an
ammunition depot at Orleans. Ludwigshafen
in the German Rhineland was also bombed
as well as mine laying carried out.
There was much fighter opposition over
France and 49 of our planes are missing.
Lots of our bombers were seen going out
this morning and sirens were sounding
in Germany this morning. The attacks
seem to be widespread as the German warning
system reported our planes over North, North
West, South West and Central Germany.
From Italy our bombers gave Bucharest its
first night attack last night when railway
yards there were attacked. Transport on the
Italian Riviera between Genoa and Marseille
as well as between Rome and Florence were
also attacked. 1250 flights were made, 3 machines
lost and 2 enemy planes destroyed. From the
land fighting only patrol and artillery activity
is reported. The Russian air offensive is also
growing in strength. Lwow was raided again.
