Moscow, Aug. 5.
German attempts to bomb Leningrad have been even less successful than those on Moscow, Gen. Mikhail Protsvetkin said in an article in "Pravda" yesterday.
Gen. Protsvetkin said that although German raids began on the first day of the war and often occurred several times daily and nightly, not a single bomb has been dropped on the city of Leningrad.
The Luftwaffe, he said, was unable to penetrate the inner ring of defences of anti-aircraft guns, fighters and balloons, which invariably intercepted raiders.
Predicting intensification of the raids, the writer said that Leningrad was fully prepared to meet any eventuality.—ited Press.
