The Luftwaffe used more planes in its raid against Britain last night than it had used for some months past. About twenty aircraft flew over the south-west coast and a similar number over the south coast.
The German news agency stated that the towns raided were Plymouth and Bournemouth, and added that heavy bombers dropped a large number of high-explosive and incendiary bombs on military targets in both towns.
