Rhine exposed to air raids and German morale expects attrition
British officials say the Rhine area faces a long emotional crisis as air raids wear down German morale. The Rhine is a wide, long target with munition towns along its banks and iron towns nearby.

The raid on Sachtbrucken demonstrated Germany’s defense limits as Pehting machines were deployed and were overwhelmed.
