AMERICANS RAID EAST PRUSSIA
Deepest Penetration Of War DAY ONSLAUGHT (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) - LONDON, October 10. In the deepest penetration so far made into Germany, American Flying Fortresses and Liberators in daylight yesterday swept 100 miles into East Prussia and also bombed targets in north-east Germany and Polan'd. Their first target was Marienburg in East Prussia, where a factory producing Focke-Wulf ISO’s was bombed. At Stettin a factory producing Focke-Wiilf components was attacked. The twin Baltic ports of Danzig and Gdynia were also hammered. For more than a year the Germans have been developing Gdynia as a major naval base, and several German warships are believed to have been in port when the attack was made. Bombs fell on harbour installations. German fighter opposition was fierce, but SI were shot down for the loss of 25 bombers. Thunderbolts attacked targets in Belgium. R.A.F. Mosquitoes last night raided Berlin without loss and others attacked targets in France, losing four bombers.
