Nazis Concentrate On Channel Coast For New Attacks
(By United Press) Reports of heavy German troop and ship concentrations along the French and Belgian coasts last night held bomb-wracked Britain on the alert as Nazi spokesmen asserted that Adolf Hitler’s air fleet now will blast London with ‘thousand-fold” reprisal assaults.
The German raids on the British capital slackened in their fury but Nazis promised new and more violent attacks after renewed bombings of Berlin end other German cities by Royal Air Force planes.
BERLIN BOASTS
Berlin boasted that the British government will be forced to accept Germany's terms of peace and said the collapse of Britain is only "a matter of weeks.”
But the people of London, grim and coldly angry, went about their business of cleaning up the debris determined never to bow to the Nazis.
The British air force was striking back, too, and the air ministry reported that its planes had bombed Berlin's utilities and started fires in four large German naval dockyards with tons of explosives.
BRITISH RETALIATE
Hurling their «oombs upon Berlin and other objectives in defiance of Hitler's threats to erase British cities if the RAF attacks continued, the British bombers were said to h-.ve spread a path of flame and destruction across Germany, Holland. Belgium and France.
In contradiction to the British claims, the German high command said that little damage was done in the raids on Berlin and other German cities, but charged that civilian populations had been bombed.
