British Bombers Blaze a ‘Trail. of Destruction in

Arms Center.

LONDON, Aug. 11 (U. P)~—A mighty British air armada, hundreds strong, stabbed deep into Germany last night to hurl at least 1500 tons of explosives on the arms and transportation center of Nurnberg. The four-engined bombers blazed a trail of fiery destruction through a city crowded with submarine and airplane works, tank factories and other arms plants. - The attack probably was the heaviest of seven on Nurnberg, which is second only to Munich as a Nazi party shrine, since the start

Sixteen bombers were lost in the

The air ministry described the Nurnberg attack as “very heavy,” a hint that the weight of bombs dropped may have approached the

LONDON, Aug. 11 (U. P.) —Adolf elite S8 army

known more properly as the “waffen S88,” is estimated to number between 15 and 20 divisions, or more than 500,000 men, compared to two or three divisions at the outbreak of war. It has ‘been trained for street fighting and since 1941 has been quietly establishing small barracks and machine-gun posts at strategic points in all large German cities. All signs point to its employment by Hitler as insurance against. Mus~ solini’s fate overtaking him and to prevent a crack-up in civilian morale.

Special ‘Quisling Division’

The waffen SS is made up of fanatical, ruthless young Nazis who are better armed, better trained and better fed than the regular German army. Every few months thousands of 17 year olds comprising the. cream of the Hitler youth are enrolled in its ranks, and recently a special viking" division of Quislings and adventurers from Norway, Denmark and Holland was added.
