West Midlands Town, Nov. 24.
Chancellor, Hitlers Luftwaffe blasted this town for 11 hours Friday right and early Saturday.
Approximately 250 raiders poured tombs on the town from Friday at 7 pin. to Saturday at 6 a.m.
Raiders. came over at varying heights and rained bombs over a wide area... 1 High' explosive bombs crashed on churches, hotels, convents, schools, offices and stores, but private homes suffered the most Many persons were feared killed, Firemen and civilian volunteers tolled unceasingly, even when the raid was at its worst, to, rescue injured and dying.
One heavy. bomb struck the rear of an art gallery and hundreds of tons of masonry fell into the street, blocking the roadway.
Anti aft fire was intense as seüréhlights raked the skies. The defences forced bombers to even greater heights and bombing more: indiscriminate as the raiders were forced higher.—United Pi
