"Qlvy as U. S. air losses were l on Nazi fighter assembly plants Whightltl blfitlVnifilifaigQllrillgogQflnbogmfiilrs greatest air battle of the war, therc are several conclusion: of major 5|‘. nlficance to be drawn from the results.

rnorican plumes, 124 of them four-engine bombers, had bran knock“ down.

That exaggeration, officially irumpeted for German home front eon- siderntion, can be traced to rising German public apprehension over the "llllldmufllly Anglo-American attacks as the hour tor west front i11- vaslon draws close. Berlin is deliberately seeking to mislead the Nazi litmus front as to the erfectlveness of tho protective air screen set, up to meet the Allied air attacks.

That is urgently necessary for two “ ernable reasons, It. is not only designed to quiet growing public alarm in Germany u11der the sustained air attack from the west, but to justify the transfer of air lloiver from the Russian front to the homc fro11t-a move that has exposed the whole right flank of the German army in Russia to tho possibility of a military disaster.

It is a striking ISDBti. of the battle in Russia. that there has been al. most no recent mention in German or Russian accounts on the eastern front fighting‘ of any extensive Nazi alr action. The greatest land battle oi‘ the wnr is being fought ln Russia by German forces reeling under massive Russian blows without any substantial benefit of the once boa-st-
