C„ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1940 No. 49 GROUPS OF 100 U-BOATS TO BE USED BY NAZIS To Use Long Range Sea planes for Scouts IS WATER “BLITZKRIEG” Hung Hope to Make up for Their Weakness in Sur face Vessels GREEKS PRESS ATTACKS Berlin, Dec. 4.—Germany is starting a new form of sea war fare, In which 100 U-boats will “run In packs, like wolves,” with long range scouting seaplanes to guide them to distant British con voys and dive bombers to aid them near the European coast, Infor mants said today. It will be a closely co-ordinated over-and-under-the-water “blitz krieg,” atoning for Germany’s weakness in surface ships, Nazis said, and It will be the backbone of the campaign against Great Britain all winter. The campaign was designed to offset the use in convoying mer chant ships Britain is making of the 50 destroyers obtained from the United States. It will fit closely into the scheme of knock ing out British industrial towns in concentrated air raids, accord ing to the Nazis, who explained that one destroyed convoy meant the loss of both cargo and cargo carrying capacity, and was as im portant as the bombing of a fac tory in crippling British economy.
