night.

Wclllngtons, llumpdens and Whltleys, carrying full loads of high explosive bombs, worked in relays. Each was assigned to n spcclflc 1111'- get and took advantage of p, moonlit night.

The mass raid had a three-fold objective, to batter roads and bridges across the Meuse at Namur and Dlnant, In Belgium, to derail trains on lines west of the River Rhine, and to destroy or damage railway cou-

tres, junctions and yards In the Ruler lndust i=1 area.

The RAF. blows and other Allied operations on land were credited by o. British military stiokesman with having averted the present completion of e. threaten- crtlNazt line t0 the English Chan-

The moonlight raids followed o. daytime blast at the spearhead of the German thrust toward the chnnnel ports with results that the Air Ministry statement described at times as provoking “utter chaos" among the invaders. The ministry ‘said many direct hits were scored m both operations. _

At least 24 German aircraft were BIBSWOYCG 0r damaged by fighter |)l.'_tlt?5 conveying the bombers, the 1111111$tty said. Five British bomb- ers lulled to ifcturn and eight right. crs are missing.

Amen specific results attribut- ed to t e bliz night raid were the destruction of the railway bridge at Nsmur and partial destruction of e nearby road and bridge.

The raiders also reported that s pontoon bridge over the river Sambre near Nemur was success- fully bombed while the southern end of the rellway bridge at Scr- elnz. near 1.10119 collapsed after e direct hit.
