grand invasion of western Kuropo.
In the meantime, a sullenine no

means of strategic bombing of im
portant enemy objectives.
. These included shipyards 'and sub
marine bases, mines, lactones,
docks and wurchoues. caua.'s, rail
road yards and airports. The pat
tern of attack called lir.l for de
struction of plane factories and air
defenses to reduce aerial opposihon.

j objectives were to be dealt wiib.
I Indirect damage to houses, sewers,
streets and so on also hampered war

Nazis Shift to Fighters.
R.v the end of 1II4J, ihe Allied
bombing offensive had Paced ihe
German air l..rce to put ihe em- i
phasis on lighter plaii.s.-in other
words, to go on the del. nsive. and 1
praclicaily to abandon their own
bombing tactics. During the same
period, British and American plane
design improved rapidly in all
categories.
Most notable, perhaps, was the
American Flying Fortress thai, could ,
protect itself on long missions with- !
out fighter escort, if need he. Me
dium and light bombers, as well as
flghterf, exceeded the Nazis in per- i
formanc.
Curing 1943 more than 4. (mo j
German planes were Mhol down
d urine raids. By early J!H4, the j
Luftwaffe frequently offered lit- j
tie or no opposition. It eventu
ally became apparent that the
remaining planes of the German
ir force were being saved for
even greater perils.
' Industrial Targets.
Strategic bombing' stretched in an j
ever-widening arc over Kurope. The
400 to 600 mile zone including key .
German cities such as Liiberk. !
Nurnberg, Stuttgart, Rostock, Leip
zig and Berlin, and the Skoda works j
in Czechoslovakia, and the northern
Italian industrial cities of Milan, i n
rin and Genoa were pounded frt ei
and often. j
The British RAF depended upon
night bombing with huge planes
Lancasters, Sterlings and Halifaxi
The American air force made
smashing daylight raids in For
tresses and Liberators, using the
new bombsight for accurate bomb
ing from great altitudes. The Brit
ish and American systems were
complementary, not comj)etitive.
"Around the clock" bombing in ear
ly 1944 ripped airdromes, factorie:
and other objectives almost at -wail
Berlin in particular was plastered
for many days. A large part of the
success of the invasion of France is
due to the long softening up pro
gram carried on by the almost in
credibly daring fliers of the Amer
ican and Briti.h air forces.

It's true, war brings about so many changes that we hardly recognize
our old way of life. We're working harder, we're eating less, and life in
general is of a more solemn nature. But there are some things that remain
forever the same, forever good and beautiful. One of those things is
mother love. It never has and it never will change. It's as perpetual as
the stars in heaven and it shines as brightly in war-time as it does in
peace. It's the hand that rocks the cradle.'
But there's another hand rocking the cradle now. It's a little
more wrinkled and not quite as strong as the other one, but it's a
capable hand. It's the same hand that rocked the cradle in the last
war. Yes, it's Grandmother's. She's keeping the home fires burning
while the rest1 of the family keep the home safe for the future.
