IDNDON. March $B—(AP)—The Germans, who are reinforcing their western front and warning their, people of imminent attack. made. an extensive and strong air raidi against southern England last] night which apparently was aimed, at Allied invasion ,. ‘ ~

The Germans’ evident purpose was to tind out how much sup- plies and personnel the Allies have concentrated in southern England for a possible invasion take-off and to do, as much damage as possible to the invasion set-up.

It was one of the heaviest aerial attacks in two years outside Lon-

don.

The Germans announced that their target. was Bristol, one of England's prime ports and harb- ors. Britlsh authorities acknowl- edged only that considerable dam- age was done to a coast town.

At least 11 German planes were shot down. British casualties in- cluded at. least nine persons kill- ed by defective anti-aircrait shells in South England and Wales.

There has been plenty to pique German curiosity about southern England, where in recent months sizable segments of the civilian population have been evacuated to make room for the military. Only a. few days ago a 10-mile strip ex- tending all along the southern coast and half way up the East coast was designated as a military banned area. On Sunday a call went out for the auxiliary naval service of yachismen.

All. these developments, coinci- dent with tactical-type bombing of railroad centres and air bases in France. combined to focus Ger- man attention on Prime Minister Churchill's words of Sunday that -"the our is approaching." land that there are to be "ieints 5 and rehearsals to deceive and baf- qilc the enemy.”
