ULffr/q Al . The Swedish Consul, City J3uildings, Old Hall Street, Liverpool. 3. 9, Uewstead itoad, Liverpool. 8. lth August 1946. Dear Sir, Rocket Bombs on Sweden. UfSKKESAVD INI In case the matter is of interest to you X - I noticed during the German bombardment of London with their V-weapons; especially the V-2 Rockets,that a particular form of interference with radio reception occurrea ana the amount of such interference indicated the intensity of the bombardment that night. j?ress reports simply reported the fact that rockets had reached London in large or small I noticed similar radio interference about the end of June this year and in a note to the fress commented on the fact that some experiments were taking place with rockets. Later the newspapers reported the rockets reaching Last night I noticed the same interference with radio reception so wrote to the Liverpool Echo stating that despite the report of Sweden granting a loan of 70 millions to Russia--the indications were that more rockets would reach Sweden. 1^ they had reports today hearing on that point would they publish the fact. To night you may hav noticed the Echo report of a rocket exploding ver the town of Malmoe and the authorities are seeking fragments of the boeket-bomb. The item appeared in the later editions of the Echo and my le tte r which would not be collected from the posting box before 8/30 arn today probably anticipated the receipt of the news item from Sweden. I think the Echo people w ill be satisfied with the extidence that there is a connection between radio interference and rocket bombardment of Sweden. The matter probably w ill interest your authorities in Sweden in which event I may be able to supply some detailed information.
