Raids by Marshal Goering's Luftwaffe on British industrial and military centers grew progressively heavier. Gradually more attention was being paid to London and the visits extended as long as six and seven hours. High explosive and incendiary bombs were dropped and the air ministry admitted the toll of casualties and property damage was growing. Fires swept over fashionable West End as well as the poorer workingmen's sections.
The British returned the calls promptly. In murky flying weather they dropped in on Berlin several nights in succession. Heavy explosions were heard on Unter den Linden, Berlin's Broadway. The German war office said, however, only suburban spots had been hit and the central city was untouched.
