Description

verso labeled in typeset: SCH300007
First-aid men helping a woman out of a house "struck" by a bomb during Berlin's day of air "raids" staged under the direction of Air Minister Goering. The mock attack was the most realistic ever held in Germany. Throughout the day first-aid squads and firemen were at work in the streets, and after dusk no light was permitted to show anywhere.
