1 ,000,000 Bombs
1,000,000 Bombs
London announced last week that the R.A.F. bombed The Netherlands with 1,000,000 of a new type delayed-action bombs. Each was a rectangular box about three inches by two inches by one, colored orange--in honor of the House of Orange. Each bore the letters V (for Victory) and W (for Wilhelmina). Inside each box were 20 little white cylinders--cigarets made of tobacco from The Netherlands Indies and marked OZO (for Oranje Zal Overwinnen --Orange Will Triumph). Their hoped-for delayed action: sabotage, resistance, violence against the Nazis.
