BERLIN AS TARGET
MOST IMPORTANT IN GERMANY. STATEMENT BY BRITISH '.AIR MINISTER. (British Official Wireless') RUGBY, December 1. In the House of Commons the British Air Secretary (Sir A. Sinclair) agreed with a questioner that British and American bombing of Germany was likely vastly to reduce Allied military casualties when the Continent was invaded. He replied in the negative to a question whether the policy of limiting the bombing of objectives to targets of military importance had been changed to bombing towns and wide areas in which military targets wore situated. Berlin, he said, was the centre of 12 strategic railways, the second largest inland port in Europe, and connected with the German canal system. In the city were the A.E.G., Reinmetall, Siemens, Focke-Wulf, Heinkel, and Dornier factories. If he were allowed to choose only one target in Germany, that target would be Berlin.
