NERUN RAIDED AGAIN BERLIN A German communique today announced that British bombers last night attacked Berlin for the second time within six days, it being the eightieth raid, of the war on the German capital. There was slight damage and some casualties, it was stated. In London Royal Air Force headquarters denied any knowledge of a British air raid on Berlin and suggested it might have been Russian planes attacking in reprisal for the German raids on Moscow. AXIS CONVOY SUFFERS CAIRO Two merchant ships were sunk and two others damaged in air attacks on an Axis convoy in the Mediterranean, it was announced today. LONDON Great damage was caused and widespread fires were left burning in Royal Air Force night bombing attacks on the German Industrial centres of Essen, Dortmund and Hamm, the Air Ministry said today on the first anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain.

In Moscow the Russians claim that, since the Russo-German war began, one and a half million Nazis have been killed, wounded or taken prisoner with Russian casualties amounting to 600,000 dead, wounded and missing, the blilzkreig against Russia is declared to be a failure.
