Bomber Command aircraft were over
France in strength last night attacking
military objectives along the coast.
An aircraft factory near Paris which is also
a foundry and stamping plant and a
ball bearing factory near the Franco-
Italian border in upper Savoy.
Mosquitoes also made a lightning
attack on Berlin. The whole ball bearing
works appeared on flames. Mines were also
laid and 7 of our planes are missing.
The sirens are sounding again in the Reich
this morning and since early this morning
many German stations are off the air.
The Germans report one formation of our
planes probably from Italy over Southern
Germany. Yesterday the Americans alone
had some 3000 planes out and only 16 of
these are missing. 12 hours ago Sebastopol
fell to the Russians, after the Russians
stormed it. Marshal Stalin issued and order
of the day wherein he praised the efforts of the
troops who captured it only in 3 days of
direct attacks. Only a month ago the
Russians broke into the Crimea and now the
whole Crimea has been cleared of enemy
