Britain Faces Heaviest Luftwaffe Raid Since War Start
June 6 Britain's air force mounted raids on German troop concentrations behind the fighting front while German bombers struck a 270 mile stretch of England from Yorkshire to Kent. In Kent a family escaped a burning incendiary bomb as British anti aircraft and air crews harried German movements along the coast. Royal Air Force bombers attacked targets in the Ruhr and western Germany and an air strike on Ghent hit oil tanks captured by the Germans. Churchill announced Belgium’s government in exile in France as legal and set a secret Commons session on home defense. Bevin announced new labor orders and luxury goods restrictions to boost war production.
