London, Nov. 9.
Royal Air Force bombers were over Munich last night while Herr Hitler and many leaders of the Nazi party were in the sity celebrating the beer hall busch of 1923, Reuter learns on brief authority.
Strong forces of British bombers were employed in last night's attacks on communications in Germany. Overations began at a fairly early hour.
British bombers also made a flight of about 1,300 miles to attack industrial areas in Northern Italy, returning to their base without loss, Details of the terrific R.A.F. attack on munitions factories in the Ruhr, including the great Kruops armament works at Essen, on Thursday night and Friday morning, show that the targets were consistently hammered by successive units of a great mixed force of medium and heavy bombers over a percid of four hours, Huge Sheet of Flame Some of the heaviest calibre bombs yet carried into Germany and thousands of fire bombs were rained down on Germany's largest armament factories, a vast expanse of which became one huge sheet of flame, while buildings glowed at white heat.
The attack began at B v.m. Thur: day and for a period of three quarters of an hour explosions could be seen continuously occurring from within factory buildings.
Other bombers aimed at a mass of raging flames engulfing low lines of buildings, and well after midnight the last of the attackers, diving clear of clouds to within 1500 feet, drapeed a final load of bombs, scattering the fires, which could be seen 60 miles away,—Reuter.
