Nazis Sink 13 Ships

BERLIN (Friday)-German surface raiders, staging "the biggest attack of its kind in naval history," have sunk 13 vessels totalling nearly 100,000 tons and loaded with war materials for Britain which may have been en route from America, official Nazi quarters claimed last night.

Several "large liners" of perhaps 20,000 tons or more were among the vessels sunk in the Atlantic Ocean west of Portugal, when the Nazi raiders struck the big convoy, after it had been battered by German long-range bombing planes, it was stated.
