Country: | I saw a lot of it on a programme which investigated the old artillery stations. Many are still in exsistance at the South of England.
I will try and get more information, I think my brother has a book on the over channel artillery war.

Country:  | Al this importent battle stuff The east or BoB. Question what bout Hitler's change from bombig the RAF to bombing cities? If the RAF stations Radar particularly would have been hit the meager planes that were going up would not have had the same starting jump. Also if you keep up the bombing then the stations in the North would not be able to take the wounded planes and fix them.
I know you all are not going to like that, but that is a thought for you.
