The weather was in places, in others so bad that blind flying was necessary; and some of the RAF planes with assigned objectives elsewhere in Germany did not reach their destinations, the ministry said. The raids on the whole were not as destructive as when the RAF demolished buildings, smoke stacks, tanks and reservoirs at the vital synthetic fuel producing plant at Politz, near Stettin, the communique Indicated; but considering the weather It was successful. British bomba were dropped on oil plants at Gelsenkirchen, Magdeburg and Salzerbergen. Two oil depots near Kiel also were hit, the communique said. Seeking to damage the powerful German war machine, other planes pitched their bombs at freight yards at Schwerte, Krefeld, Hamm and Soest, and railroad junctions at Nordhausen and Halle.

The planes forced from their primary objectives by the weather unloaded their bombs on munition factories, aircraft factories and power stations, familiar to them from many nights of raiding. Others renewed the attacks on the channel ports and the gun emplacements at Cap Gns Nez. The air ministry said all planes returned to England safely. Knew All Answers But One. PORTLAND.
