The heavy air bombing, thousands of planes going after one target shows how much a different “smart” bombs and smarter aircraft make. You can’t level a city to hit a ball-bearings factory now.

If radio is hinting at early invasion, you can bet they had permission to say it and the paper had permission to report it on page 1.

SO who is “Bill” working for Radio Berlin? One of those Americans who willingly worked propaganda for the NAZI’s or what?

Wonder if “Bill” knew Lord Ha Ha or Mildred or Rita?
