GERMAN GUNS
TARGET FOR R.A.F.
HEAVY CHANNEL FIRING
LONDON, November 26.
Miles of the French coast 'were illuminated tonight as the Royal Air Force bombed the German long-range guns which were simultaneously firing shells over the English Channel. The firing was the heaviest that has yet been heard in Kent, and the explosions were almost continuous for three and a half hours. The British long-range guns replied furiously.
A correspondent of the "Daily Express," writing from the south-east coast, says that Germans are practising cliff-climbing by ropes and ropeladders between Calais and Boulogne in full view of the British military and naval watchers, giving the impression that Hitler may order his army to make "blitz" sea raids during the long winter nights under cover of a fog.
