Germans Use Long Range Guns for Channel Barrage Plan
German forces deploy heavily on the French coast to shell across the Channel as Allied air defences clash with Nazi bombers. Reports from Berlin and London cite a rising tempo in the three day assault, with indications of a possible invasion within 72 hours and preparations for troop landings. Observers note the proximity of Calais to Dover and the use of long range "Big Bertha" guns to bombard coastal defenses. The blitz follows a pattern of cross channel bombardment and fortifies Nazi aims toward a decisive strike on Britain.
