RUSSIANS BAG 900 PLANES
2000 Nazi Airmen Forced Out of Action in Last Three Weeks.
By HENRY SHAPIRO. United Press Staff Correspondent KUIBYSHEV, Russia, April 30.— Col. Zhuravlev, a Russian aircraft expert, said today that 247 German planes have been shot down in combat in the last eight days and 900 in the last three’ weeks, which ‘means the Germans have lost at least 2000 pilots, bombardiers and gunners.
Air activity increased as : {the mud of the spring thaw hardened. Last midnight’s communique reported that 75 German planes were destroyed on Tuesday. and the Russians lost 14. The communique credited one Soviet division on the northern front with having killed 10,000 Germans and capturing large quantities of equipment in three months. Red army snipers and guerrillas were taking advantage of the improved weather and inflicting heavy losses.
Claim Nazi Morale Low
Two guerrillas learned that the Germans had built a bridge across
a river, the communique related. They built a wooden raft, loaded it with explosives and mines, lighted a delayed action fuse and let the raft drift downstream. The bridge stopped the raft, soon a terrific explosion blew the bridge into the air. : - The communique cited statements of German prisoners and letters as proving that German morale was low and the German soldier had despaired of ever winning the war. It said Pvt. Walter Weld of the 294th German infantry division told the following story:

After a brief engagement, only five of us remained alive and surrendered. | “Our soldiers don’t believe that spring: will bring victory to the German army. They are all dejected, angry and sullen.” An unmailed letter found on the body of Lance Corp. Hans Schmidt, and addressed to his widow, said: “It is better not to say anything about our life. All of us live by the single thought: When will this accursed war finally end? We never take off our clothes and boots. Lice finally overwhelmed us and it is impossible to get rid of them.”

Today's War Moves
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst
- Great Britain’s shattering aerial offensive on German war centers, now in its eighth day, is paying
German reports on the raids speak invariably of damage only to homes, hospitals, churches and schools, seeking to create the impression that the British indiscriminately are bombing civilian centers. That is not true. A list of the points attacked show that they are the most vital .centers of German or German-controlled war industry and

ers in raids on Germany and the occupied countries.
In that time, the British suffered the surprisingly low loss of 100 planes, or only one in 40: The Germahs lost 54 planes. The British report more German fighters in evidence now however, and believe Germany may. be forced to risk a larger proportion of her air reserves.
Nazis Try Terror
In the same period, the British estimate that the Germans used not more than 250 bombers in retaliatory raids on England. That is about the number used last year in a singlé raid on London. The ‘Germans themselves have
1000 bombers and about 3000 fight-
promised to ‘bomb every British
town and city of historic ' interest. They are trying to match Britain's purposeful, practical raids with terror raids. .
the present raids on cities like York, Bath, Exeter and Norwich are no more likely to crush the British
spirit than the earlier raids on Coventry, London and Plymouth.
“No Quarter” by Britain
_Britain’s determination to give the Germans no quarter was exemplified in, the house of commons today. Clement R. Attlee, deputy prime minister, when asked whether the government might consider a tacit agreement with Hitler to avoid bombing historic places, answered with an emphatic “No; sir.” He said that no agreement with Hitler is worth anything, and added that it already is a fixed British. policy to avoid unnecessary damage to such places.

KUIBYSHEV, Russia, April 30 (U. P.).—Dispatches from the Crimea reported today, as the siege of Sevastopol entered its seventh month, how the beleaguered Soviet garrison seized the initiative after some of the bloodiest battles of the Russo-German war.
(Radio Moscow, quoting the army newspaper Red Star's Sevestopol correspondent, said that 45,000 Germans were killed in the siege.)
