Britons were warned of the serious situation facing them as a result of the German drive in France to the English channel in a radio broadcast yesterday by Minister of Information Alfred Duff-Cooper and by this morning’s newspapers which predicted that Britain could expect “merciless onslaughts” on its cities by the German air force at any time.
The communique of the air ministry and the ministry for home security on last night’s bombing said: ANTI-AIRCRAFT ACT “Enemy aircraft jettisoned bombs on two districts of southeast England last night.
