MASSING OF BRITISH LANDING-BOATS
Assertion By Enemy (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.) LONDON, October 15. The British High Command intends to give in to the Russian demand for a second front and make Normandy the scene of the attempt to create one. says the Berlin official news agency. This, it says, is to be deduced from the increased Royal Air Force activity and from the German observa- - tion of a ’great number of landingboats which are massed in' specially suitable British harbours. The Berlin news agency lists as preparations for this landing “large-wale” commando raids, including that on Sark, and an attempt near Cherbourg on September 12. An attack was made on a coastal post on the Casquets, off Alderney, early in September, and an attempt to approach the coast, near Annoville ou October 7, when the coastal defences are eaid to have driven off a British boat. Further attempts were observed at other points on the coast of Normandy in the same period.
