U. S. heavy bombers blasted
Bucharest by daylight Sunday in the steady, sledgehammer pounding of Romania,
headquarters announced, as the battle tempo aground in Italy also quickened
with a sharp but futile Nazi attack against the Anzio beachhead.
Liberators and Flying Fortresses struck
the main rail yards in Bucharest, starting many fires and explosions, as the
non-stop day and night hammering of Romanian communications and industries
swung through the third day without a break.
