SMALL IN COMPARISON WITH NAZI CLAIMS
(Received This Day, .11.30 a.m.) RUGBY, August 9.
Authoritative figures of shipping losses in yesterday’s air attacks on convoys in the Channel dispose of the claims in today’s German communique that the enemy sank over 60,000 tons. Actually at a cost of at least 60 planes and irreplaceable crews, one E-boat sunk and one badly damaged, Germany destroyed 5039 tons of shipping, damaged about the same amount and destroyed 16 British fighters, All the damaged ships have been safely brought to port.
