AIR OFFENSIVE
MANNHEIM STRAFED AGAIN WITH MANY OTHER TARGETS. CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE DONE. An Air Ministry report states that Mannheim was the main objective of British bombers attacking Germany on Sunday night. Both in Mannheim and in Ludwigshaven, on the opposite side of the Rhine, extensive fires were started and were followed by explosions. Other targets in the Rhineland were also bombed, as were Flushing, Dunkirk and Calais and aerodromes in enemy-occupied territory. Mannheim, which was bombed on three successive nights last week, is the third-largest inland industrial centre in Germany. It has an important railway goods yard and is a centre of heavy industry and munitions manufacture. One of our planes is missing.
