HEAVIEST YET
BRITISH AIR ATTACK ON HAMBURG GERMANS SHOWING SIGNS OF DISMAY. SPRING PLANS UPSET. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.20 p.m.) LONDON, May 6. According to the Berlin correspondent of the Stockholm newspaper “Dagbladets,” the R.A.F. raid on Hamburg was the most devastating the city has experienced. The heaviest bombs were used. It is believed in London that British bombing policy is getting under the Germans’ skin. There has been lately a regular broadcast for an hour in English, from German stations, appealing io the humanitarian feelings of Britishers and threatening reprisals, though from the viewpoint of the Air Ministry the recent Baedeker raids do not fall in the' category of reprisals. The view held in London is that Hitler did not desire to embark on fresh bombing of Britain at present, in order to conserve the Luftwaffe for the coming offensive against Russia, but the British raids have forced him again to bomb Britain to satisfy German opinion. .
