THE WAR - WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events On the night of Sopt. 7, 1940, planes from Gooring's Luftwatfe reported to number 700 bombed London fn what Berlin described as the heaviest abr raid fa history, writes the New York Times, They Jllled 306 persons and wounded 1,300.

Today, two years later, tha sky above london 13 usually serene, But night after night the dark sky over Germany is filled with hostilo planes dropping loads of explosive which Goering's fliers of 1940 never dreamed of.
