German Industrial Center Given . Heaviest Raid In History Of Aerial Warfare.

LONDON. May 24—(AP)-—Beating down the world's thickest anti-aircraft defences guarding the primary source of Germanfs war power, the R.A.F- and R.C.A.F. dumped more than 2,000 tons of bombs on the industrial city of Dortmund last

i i l i A night in the heaviest, most concentrated attack in

Where and when it will come ls for Hitler and his Generals to guess but there is nothing more certain in the war outlook than that them will be one or more direct assaults by sea, land and air by Canadian, r British and American forces somewhere against the European fortress l this year. These may not constitute the final, knockout bloug, ivhich ‘ may be withheld while the softening up continues a few months longer. but they will be major diversions which will compel Iiiilcr to withdraw hundreds of thousands a! lighting men from the Russian frnni.

The immediate, primaryiobjectlve of the raids, of course. ls the do- atruction of Hitler's war potential by knocking out hls factories and lim- iting production.

But the morale factor may prove in the end the determining one. As the fury of the storm rises the conviction will he horm- in on the Ger- man people that this is not just a passing ordeal but n scnrge that. must continue with ever more terrible effect until the war is fended And it must be clear In time even in Germany that in such circumstancrs it can end in only one way.
