GERMANY’S VERSION

AIR RAIDS ON BRITAIN SINKING OF SHIPS CLAIMED (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Aug. 22, 11.10 a.m.) BERLIN, Aug. 21 “During armed reconnaissances our air force attacked isolated targets and military objectives in the middle and south of England on Tuesday,” states a German communique. “We effectively bombed an ammunition factory and a railway junction in Suffolk and harbour works at Great Yarmouth, together with a warship off Great Yarmouth. “Our planes bombed and machinegunned aerodromes and railway works at Lowestoft and Exeter, scoring several hits. Heavy explosions were observed in a factory at Chelmsford. Heavy damage was caused in the harbour and dockyard works at Faversham, Barryport and Pembroke, where several small vessels were sunk. Oil depots were also fired on. “We sank a 12,000-ton merchantman north of Ireland. German bombs heavily damaged three merchantmen off the north-west coast of Ireland. “Isolated air fights developed when several British planes penetrated France and Holland. No enemy plane was over the Reich on the night of Wednesday. The enemy lost ten planes and three of ours have not returned.”
