During the night of October 1st-2nd an electrical equipment 
      factory at Berlin was bombed and 4 very large explosions resulted. 
      Four synthetic oil plants in Germany were attacked and a lighter 
      weight attack was made on 2 electrical power stations. Exact 
      observation of results was impossible but there were many bursts 
      on targets. Fires were seen after an attack on marshalling yards 
      and also at some channel ports though at others which were attacked 
      the results could not be observed. The Fokker factory at Amsterdam 
      and a number of enemy aerodromes also bombed and some minelaying 
      carried out.
