FORAM EMPREGADAS BOMBAS 'BEZIRK' NO MAIOR RAIDE AÉREO DESTA GUERRA O PÁNICO ESPALHOU-SE NA ALEMANHA no dia 30 de Maio, quando pela primeira vez na história se empregaram mais de 1.000 bombardeiros que 'Coventraram' Colónia - usando a expressão que os alemães adoptaram quando dos raides contra as cidades Britnicas. A analogia não é perfeita visto que a aviação britnica deseja unicamente atingir objectivos militares e industríais. As formidáveis bombas britnicas, algumas das quais pesando mais do que 1.800 quilógrammes, são conhecidas na Alemanha pelo nome de 'Bezirk' (bairro), visto que uma bomba destroe um bairro inteiro. A ofensiva aérea britnica obriga a Alemanha a distraír da frente Russa um número elevadíssimo de homens e grandes quantidades de materiais de guerra. Este raide é o começo da história. 'Raides como os de Colónia' contra as cidades alemãs, apressarão o ruir do esfôrço alemão na frente oriental. PELA LIBERDADE Serviços de Imprensa e Informação da Embaixada Britnica ['Bezirk' bombs deployed on the most massive air raid of the entire war spread panic on the 30th May, when for the first time in history over 1000 bombardments were launched in order to 'Coventrify' Cologne - using the expression adopted by the Germans to describe raids on British citizens. The analogy cannot be perfect, given that the British Air Force only aims to attack military and industrial targets. The formidable British bombs, some of which weigh in at more than 1,800 kilogrammes, are known in Germany under the rubric 'Bezirk' (district), on the grounds that it takes but one bomb to demolish an entire district. The British air offensive obliges Germany to deploy an increasing number of men and vast quantities of war supplies from its Russian front. This raid is the start of a new chapter of history. 'Raids such as that on Cologne', against German cities, accelerate the destruction of German forces on the Western Front. For Freedom!
