Two Nazis Downed

Two German bombers were destroyed during the last 24 hours. A Dornier machine was shot down by machine-gun fire off the east coast this morning, while the other plane was brought down over the Channel by British fighters yesterday.

German air activity over Britain last night was again on a small scale. This morning's Air Ministry communique says that bombs were dropped on a town in West England, causing slight damage and a few casualties. Bombs were also dropped elsewhere, but caused little damage and no casualties are reported—
