Air Marshal Sir Roderic Hill talked to a
Canadian squadron which has now
destroyed over 100 German planes.
Early yesterday morning Germans and
Hungarians threw in a lot of fresh troops
against the Russian bridgehead at
Tiraspol. 4000 German trooped were killed
and 100 tanks knocked out.
Long distance bombers from Russia
bombed Lublin 95 miles SE of Warsaw.
The mopping up of troops west of
Sebastopol continues. Over 61500
prisoners were taken in the fighting on the
Crimea including 2 Generals and a
number of Colonels.
Russian Black Sea aircraft have caused
very severe losses during the campaign.
96 fully loaded transports and some
100 other craft were destroyed.
During an offensive sweep off the French
coast one ship was hit and left ablaze, others
damaged. All ours returned safely with a
small number of casualties. A Review
on recent fighting in the Pacific was given by Robson
who said a.o. that air supremacy gave us
naval supremacy and that the Americans
construct an airfield in a week for
which the Japanese require 2 months.
