BEFORE    AFTER                                            A/380

                    damage.  The position of the fire track indicated
                    that the fire tended to spread W. rather than to
                    the E. and that it probably began in the E.
BB.                 REPAIR SHOPS
          41.            Extensive damage is seen and there is
                    considerable charring and fire damage at the N. 
                    end.
                    NIGHT PHOTO EVIDENCE
                         One or two smallish fires area seen at 
                    different times in the "charred" areaa and these
                    remain small to the end.  Unfortunately this
                    is inconsistent with the damage seen since one 
                    would have expected a heavy fire track.
CC.                 WESTERN TANK ASSEMBLY SHOPS
                         This is reported to be a new extension of 
                    the Renault works undertaken by the Germans.  
                    There is some evidence of recent constructional 
                    activity but this has been very slow.  Undoubtedly 
                    the shops are being used for tank assembly. Tanks
                    are seen in the yards and damaged shops, some 
                    fully equipped, others turretless.
          42.            Stick of H.E. through the yard which has 
                    caused severe damage to adjacent sheds among the
                    parked tanks.
          43.            Direct hits on N. sheds.
          44.            Near misses to the Works.
                         Close up of the damaged sheds.            2/24
                         The crater in the road E. of the sheds.  Item 2.
                         The N. sheds with broken girdrs are 
                    clearly visible.  Tanks, some parked, can be seen
                    ranked on the floors.
                    NIGHT PHOTO EVIDENCE
                         At 2145 hrs. a fair sixed 3-point fire is seen
                    which is still visible as a 2 or 3 track fire at 2232 hrs, 
                    diminishing later.
DD.                 BRONZE AND ALUMINUM FOUNDRY
                         This foundry is operated on a complicated
                    chain system which if damaged would be extremely
                    difficult to repair.
          44.            Severe roof damage is visible with hardly any
                    charring which suggests that blast was the primary cause.
                    It is impossible to say to what extent the plant has sustained
                    interior damage though some has obviously been caused.
