1013 DIAL It was the 71st raid of the war on Kiel, which last was attacked the night of October 13, 1942. The attack was another blow at Germany's submarine campaign, which Allied authorities have acknowledged is hampering the mass- ins- of strength for the opening of a second front in Europe. Kiel is probably the most important center for the building: and outfitting of U-boats in Germany. The raid carried the resumed Anglo-America" offensive through its third night on what appeared to be a crescending scale. It began with a British raid on the UJBoat bases of St.

Nazaire and Lorient on the French Atlantic coast Friday night, was intensified Saturday night with a heavy and concentrated attack on the arms center of Essen in the Ruhr and was advanced in daylight yesterday by British attacks on taints in France and Holland, and the American raid on the Renault works. Big U. Raid The American raid was one of the largest undertaken by British- based Flying Fortresses ar.d from the aspect of concentrated destruction of a small target area, was probably the heaviest of all. Several hundred thousand pounds of high explosive bombs were dropped over the few acres making up the Renault works and photographs taken by the bombers indicated that all missiles fell in the target area. The photographs showed fires raging, though clouds of smoke hid details, The Flying Fortresses ran into swarms of German fighters, but shot down at leart 25 of them a loss of only four bombers.

Allied fighters which picked up the Fortresses over the French coast destroyed eight other German planes and lost seven of their own aircraft. The United States forces unde- Lt. Gen. George S.

Enemy Thrown Hack The Germans made a counterattack against Patton's forces but were repulsed with severe losses, including prisoners, American positions were not weakened. The British engaged in artillery duels with the inomy on several sectors, especially northwest of Madjez El Bab, and mauled Curman transport columns. There was no confirmation here of axis reports that the British were starting a big offensive in the Medjez El Bab sector or of similar reports that the American had smarted a heavy attack near Maknassy, but the United. States' nction cast of El Guettar was on a considerable scale.

Meeting The Americans were battling some of German Marshall Erwin Rommel's finest veteran troops, heavily supported by tanks, artillery, mortars and machine gung as well as the ever-present minefields. Deeply entrenched on the Bir Mrabott pass, the Germans are holding the last high ground west of the coastal plain. (The NBC correspondent at Allied headquarters said American troops captured "a couple" of hills east of El Guettar.) At one point, the Americans were six miles beyond the junction of main Gafsa-Gabes road and a road shooting off southward to Kebill. 14 Stukas Downed American-manned Spitfire planes on Saturday shot down 14 German dive-bombers in the biggest air battle yet staged over the American front lines in Bir Mrabott pass. In Northern Tunisia, the British First army and supporting French forces pummeled enemy troop and transport concentrations and sent out reconnaissance patrols after clearing the Germans from Cap Serrat, 36 miles due west of Bi- zerte, main axis base in Tunisia.
