Air Raid Developments and Allied Strategy in Early World War II
Reports from London outline Allied strategy across Europe including a fourfold approach: Polish eastern thrusts and retreats, French artillery on the western front, British naval blockade with air and sea pressure on Germany, and RAF reconnaissance with leaflets. Britain claims success against German war and merchant vessels, with raids on Kiel Canal entrances and submarine actions. Polish retreating lines note the Poland corridor’s vulnerability and a proposed shorter defense along the Vistula and Bug rivers to leverage Poland's specialized forces.
