Invasion fears rise as German force massing on coast
Reports from London and Berlin say Germany has massed gliders and six engined Dorniers along the European coast with enough planes to drop an airborne division on Britain. The Daily Mail cites excellent sources while Moscow notes visas blocked and retreat toward frontiers. Allied actions include heavy bombing of Ploesti, Belgrade, Nis, Turnu-Severin as well as naval and ground assaults from Italy toward Rome and Gaeta.
