Oblivion Due for Fortress Helgoland Blast Claim
A British naval officer said Helgoland, the German island fortress off Hamburg, would be blown up around March 31 in a blast he called the nearest rival to the atomic bomb. The 15 miles of tunnels would be filled with depth charges and detonated in a single big bang. Helgoland, once a British colony, was ceded to Germany in 1886 and developed into a powerful naval fortress dominating the North Sea. The British occupied the island in May 1945.
