ATTACKED BY R.A.F.
ST. NAZAIRE U-BOAT BASE NIGHT & DAY RAIDS. RAID ON BRITISH SEASIDE RESORT. LONDON, June 29. Last night the U-boat base at St Nazaire was attacked and further raids were made on Germanoccupied airfields and railway centres in Occupied France. British planes attacked a German convoy off the French coast. One large merchant vessel was left listing. Forces of Boston bombers, escorted by many squadrons of fighters, made the railway yards at Hazebrouck, near the Franco-Belgian frontier, their main objective today. All the bombers returned, but five fighters are missing. Three enemy fighters were destroyed. The Air Ministry announces that the seaside resort of Weston-Super-Mare, on the Bristol Channel, was bombed last night. Fires were started in the business and shopping areas, and there were a number of casualties. Swedish sailors returning from Bremen say that the results of the R.A.F. raids are evident along the whole German North Sea coast. The masts of wrecked vessels stick up from the water at the entrance to Emden. The sailors were unable to get anything to eat in Bremen, despite the Efforts of the Swedish Consuls.
