Invasion Fears Bring Armada; France Raided
LONDON, April 3 (UP).—
Germany, apparently fearing
that a fleet was massing for a
British invasion of the continent,
attacked a long stretch of
the south and southeast coasts
in a powerful bombing raid
during the night.
Observers said that the fleet appeared
to be the biggest which had
ever attacked the coast by night.
{Berlin reported that Dover and
Portland were the chief targets.)
British planes bombed docks at
the French Invasion port of Le
Havre and fighters attacked enemy
airfields in occupied territory.
Practically the entire corner of
England nearest occupied France
was plastered with bombs.
