10,000 Planeloads of Bombs!
FEARSOME THREAT TO BLOT OUT LONDON BERLIN, Sept. 11. “Ten thousand planeloads of bombs are going to the London area in the next few days,” declared a Nazi spokesman to-day. “There will be 2500 planes, rotating four times a day between London and the French supply bases, starting to-night. “Bombers from their home airports, situated in Germany, will fly each day to the French coast, where they will take on bombs for flying to London. They will not return to their borne airports until they have completed their fourth visit to London.” Dr. Goebbels’s spokesman said: “I would not give a farthing for the Houses of Parliament. Now the Reichstag has been bombed, there is no reason why we should not bomb the British Parliament out of existence. If the British try to hit tho Chancellery, then Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle will go as surely as you live. ’ ’ He added that Germany would land troops in England if necessary, but declared that there was a possibility oi England's collapse.
