MORE NAZI LIES
COMMENT IN ENGLAND BRITISH LOSS EXAGGERATED (Omclal Wireless) (Received Aug. 10, 11 a.m.) RUGBY, Aug. 9 The following authoritative comment was made on today’s German High Command communique in London: “Today’s German High Command communique, while multiplying by three the actual number of British fighters lost in yesterday’s air battles, avoids mentioning that the German Air Force lost 60 machines—probably about one-seventh of the German machines engaged. “The typically hasty estimates of shipping sunk or damaged in the attacks on the convoy will prove, when the full facts become available, to be equally far from the truth. It is already known that the convoy contained no tanker, nor indeed any ship approaching the tonnage figures for single ships given in the German claims.”
