Northern Italy
.
 
      It is reported that the population in the industrial areas of 
      northern Italy is in a state of panic, most of the people who 
      can afford it have evacuated to the country, the remainder spending 
      whole nights in temporary and very inadequate shelters. Anti-aircraft 
      fire is so poor that shells often fall on to houses houses and 
      explode on roofs. Central portion of railway station at Milan 
      collapsed as a result of the raid on August 14th to 15th.
 
      
 
 
10. Projected action against the United Kingdom. 
 
      A photographic reconnaissance carried out on August 28th shows 
      an increase of shipping at Kiel. This may be caused by a hold 
      up due to our mining operations. There is also an increase of 
      small craft at Emden, many of these are of the same type and 
      are not typical of the craft previously seen here.
