BLOODCURDLING THREATS.
HUGE BOMBING FORCES. NAZI VINDICTIVENESS. (Rec. 1.40 p.m.) BERLIN, Sept. 11. A spokesman declared that 10,000 planes with loads of bombs were going to the London area in the next few days. A total of 2500 planes, rotating four times daily between London and the French supply bases, would be starting to-night. Bombers from home airports situated in Germany were flying daily to the French coast, where they were taking on bombs for flying to London, not returning to their home airports until they had completed a fourth London visit.
Dr Goebbels’s spokesman said: “I would not give a farthing for the Houses of Parliament. Now the Reichstag has been bombed there is no reason why we should not bomb the British Parliament out of existence. If the British try to hit the Chancellery, then Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle will go as sure as you live.” He added that Germany would land troops in England if necessary, but declared there was a possibility of England’s collapse.
