1 Mar 1941

Serial No. Suggestions Submitted by Remarks of the I.S.S.B. 5. GERMANY "300 people were killed in Hanover by bombs which fell near P.I.D. No security objection Recommended. contd. a special decoy fire started by the authorities to distract the R.A.F. from Military objectives. Tar dumps for this purpose have been established in all cities." 6. " "The R.A.F. have a new bomb so enormous that one wiped out " No security objection, but for a complete village in the Harz mountains." "enormous" we suggest the substitution of "powerful" which will strengthen a rumour said to be already prevalent in Germany.
