DUISBURG PICTURES
MOST SUCCESSFUL. RUHR RAID British Official Wireless. Rec. 1 p.m. RUGBY, July 23. Photographs taken during Tuesday night's attack on Duisburg confirm the reports of crews that this was one of the most successful raids carried out on the Ruhr. Large fires are shown in many parts of the industrial area at the western end of the Ruhr, including the DuisburgHochfield district, the Hocheide area of Homberg and other areas to the north, south and south-west of the town. The photographs emphasise that by the end of the attack the fires naa taken a good hold and were spreading. The photographs also show that many more high-explosive bombs were dropped than was at first indicated, and in some of the pictures the effect of the 40001b bombs is obvious.
