“In Britain... German cross-Channel guns carry out a heavy bombardment of Dover. One shell strikes a hostel, killing 49.

“Over Occupied France... About 3500 tons of bombs are dropped on the German coastal batteries in Calais and Cap Gris Nez by the RAF.”

Hard to believe that those die-hard Germans were still bombarding Dover from Calais!

They weren't really die - hard. They were largely the dregs of the German army (and navy) poorly trained and supplied, with lousy morale by this point.
