SECOND FRONT
GERMAN PREDICTION LANDING IN NORMANDY PREPARATION APPARENT (11.45 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 15. The British High Command intends to give in to the Russian demand for a second front and to make Normandy the scene of the attempt, says the Berlin official news agency. This, it says, can be reduced from the increased Royal Air Force activity and from the German observation of a great number of landing boats massed at specially suitable British harbours.
The news aeenev lists as preparations for this landing the large-scale commando raids, including that on Sark, an .attempt near Cherbourg on September 12, an attack made on the coastal port in the Casquets Islands early in Septmeber, and an attempt to approach the coast near Annoville on October 7. when coastal defences drove off a British boat. Further attempts were observed :at other points on the coast of Normandy in the same period.
