OF ITINERARY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 12.35 a.m). LONDON, August 29.
The British United Press Berlin correspondent says firemen this morning were still clearing away the debris resulting from the R.A.F. raid. Every window within a radius of a quarter of a mile was
smashed in one quarter of the city. One bomb is believed to have killed six persons standing in a doorway It was the first time bombs had fallen in Berlin proper. The Ministry of Propaganda hastily organised a tour of the city for neutral correspondents. They were not taken to the northern and north-western areas.
The Associated Press of Great Britain Berlin correspondent says newspaper men saw no damage at the Templehof Aerodrome, Klingenberg railway, Siemen’s Works or railway stations. It was impossible to visit all points of military interest in a twohour rapid drive around Berlin, but no damage was seen except to pavements and dwellings.
