NAZI THREAT
BOMBARDMENT OF BRITAIN WITH “ROCKET PROPELLED” SHELLS. AS REPRISAL FOR AIR BOMBING. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, October 13. Austrian agents reaching Istanbul as refugees are sureading a story of the coming shelling of Britain by rocketpropelled shells from guns on the French coast as a reprisal for raids on Germany, states the Istanbul correspondent of the “Daily Express.” The Austrians say that the shells contain a very destructive explosive. They also say that pilotless radiocontrolled stratosphere planes have been built to discharge rocket shells. Germany’s best technical and chemical experts have been withdrawn from all other work to complete these new weapons by the end of October. A neutral military attache said he believed the scare story was aimed at keeping Britain and America on the defensive till the eastern front was stabilised. German propaganda had threatened the bombardment of London from the French coast last April. Neutral correspondents recently repeated stories of a rocket-gun.
