NAZIS THREATEN HEAVY ATTACKS
BOMBING BY 10,000 PLANES PARLIAMENT HOUSE MENTIONED (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received September 12, 6.30 p.m.) BERLIN, September 11. A German spokesman declared that 10,000 planes with loads of bombs were going to the London area in the next few days. “Two thousand five hundred planes will be rotating four times daily between London and the French supply bases, starting tonight,” he said. “Bombers from home airports situated in Germany will be flying daily to the French coast, where they will take on bombs for flying to London, not returning to their home airports until they have completed their fourth London visit.”
The 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 that there was a possibility of England’s collapse.
