ROYAL AIR FORCE ACHIEVEMENT
Breaking Down Barricade of Lies APPROVING COMMENT IN LONDON PRESS WAR OPENED IN RIGHT WAY (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY,. September 5. The remarkable flights over German territory of Royal Air Force aircraft carrying millions of leaflets putting before the German people the true facts of the present position have struck the public imagination and given rise to approving editorial comment in several newspapers.
An example is the “Daily Express,” which says: “At the time when the Athenia was sinking after an attack by a German U-boat, machines of the Royal Air Force carried out our greatest propaganda raid in history. Six million leaflets were dropped over northern and western Germany in a gigantic endeavour to bring the truth to the German people and to break through the barricade of lies and suppressions which, mightier than the Siegfried Line, stands between the ordinary German and the democracies of the west.” The “News Chronicle says:—“So far as Britain is concerned this war opened in the right way. The fact is that this war differs from all previous wars. It is a struggle by all men and women, British and German, who believe in liberty and peace against the intolerable tyranny of the Nazi Government. It is a war for principles which know no frontiers.”
