Aside from the immediate devastation and aside from the fact it was history's v.crst blow there were terrifying indications to the Germans for the future, all calculated to sap their morale to the point of fear that means surrender. The success of the raid, despite the weather, pointed only to more and heavier raids.

Anything not destroyed this time could be destroyed subsequently. Any destroyed Industries transferred eastward hardly would be any better off, as allied raids as far as Poland. Czecho-Slovakja and Austria already have proved. Last night's raid, coining within less than a week after a previous record Berlin raid. Indicated plainly the campaign to knock Berlin out of the war was in full swing.

The weather, so much less favorable than that of July and August during which Hamburg, a city half the size of Berlin, was knocked out in Eess than a week, might prolong the effort against Berlin but there are compensating factors. Both the RAF and United States airforce are much larger than they five months ago, enabling the allies to launch larger and more frequent attacks. In addition German defenses are more strained. The Pathfinder technique for bad weather bombing has been perfected and the American air- force, according to the Germans, is operating in weather which once was considered infeasible. Since the last Hamburg raid the RAP'S bombing concentration--tons dropped in a given number of minutes, and now regarded as a key factor in a raid's effectiveness-1 has been upped 50 per cent, from 50 tons per minute to 74 on Duessel- dorf Nov.

The incident for which Eisen bower rebuked one of his ablest battle leaders occurred early In August when the Sicilian campaign was at a critical period. Patton. visiting an evacuation hospital, was walking among the wounded, pat- tine some on the head and sympathizing with them, when he came upon me soldier sitting on a cot with hU head in his hands, weep- In reply to Patton's question as to what was the matter with him, the soldier was quoted as replying: "It's my nerves. I guess I cant stand shelling." According to those present, the general thereupon burst into a rage, and.

employing profanity, called the soldier a "coward" and "yellow belly" and other epithets and ordered him back to the front The scene attracted several persons.

The soldier fell over slightly, and a nurse intent on protecting the patient, made a dive toward Patton but was pulled back by a doctor The commander of the hospital then intervened.

Patton Is commanding the Seventh Army, has commanded it since It was activated and Is continuing to command it. Gen. Patton has never been reprimanded at any time by Gen.

Elsenhower 'or by anyone else In this theater. Although today's statement borej out that Patton had not, indeed, i been officially reprimanded, correspondents were permitted to tell what did happen. The soldier Patton struck will remain anonymous, allied headquarters decided. A spokesman said that since he had accepted Patton apology, the incident was closed as far he was concerned.

The incident has been discussed more than any other topic among the soldiers here, and ever since has been the subject of endless conversations and debates. It has led to assertions from some soldiers, that no matter how bard Patton was on them, they had confidence In him as a general who would take care of them.

It focussed attention on the subject of war-strain and "shell-shock," that strange condition which some officers and some doctors say does not really exist. It has shown Patton as generous in making redress as he was-reckless in committing, his act.
