INDUSTRIAL TOWN OF KASSEL VITAL TO GERMAN WAR INDUSTRY. PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) RUGBY, November 8. Of 315 acres in the fully built-up area of Kassel, 300 acres have been devastated. Of the remainder of the town, excluding suburbs, just under half has been destroyed. Industry in Kassel, which was of supreme importance to the German war effort because of the number of specialised plants, has for some time at least ceased to exist. These facts, says the Air Ministry’s news service, have been revealed by reconnaissance photographs taken since the bombing on October 22, after which jfires raged for seven days. Fifty factories were either destroyed or damaged, including plants to which the Germans had given the highest priority.
