Forty Five Killed In Capital Raid By 300 Planes
In France, civilians suffered as renewed German raids hit the Lyons region and Marseilles with heavy losses. Paris says 12 enemy planes were destroyed in Marseilles and the Rhone valley while Dunkerque’s defenders hold out under intensified assault. London reports 1 000 German planes and 15 fresh divisions pressing toward Dunkerque with evacuees still moving to England. Berlin claims Allied forces retreated along the Maginot line near Forbach as two French and British troops are prisoners in Flanders. British veterans returning from Dunkerque say German forces are within three miles of the port, as Italy weighs entry into the war and Mediterranean precautions rise. Two bombs hit Forest Row in Sussex, while two British hospital ships, the Paris and Worthing, were bombed with no casualties aboard.
