CAUSES. OUR Z FIGURE OF BOMBING RAIDS IS 37 (INCLUDING U-96
SUNK WILHELMSHAVEN 30TH MARCH NOT YET PASSED TO YOU IN WEEKLY
BREAKDOWN). GREATER PART OF THIS TOTAL IS NOW CONFIRMED ON
OPEN EVIDENCE AND ALL WILL SHORTLY BE CONFIRMED SO HAVE AD-

TOTAL OF U-BOATS SUNK FROM OWN OPEN SOURCES AND EVIDENCE TAKEN
FROM GERMANS IS AT LEAST 710 (EXCLUDING U-BOATS SCUTTLED AT
TIME OF SURRENDER) SO HAVE ADVISED FIGURE OF 29 BEING INCREASED

SCUTTLINGS IS COMING IN VERY SLOWLY. HOPE TO SEND ALL DETAILS
AVAILABLE BY NEXT WEEK.
