Germans bomb Liverpool at night
Wednesday, August 28, 1940 www.onwar.com
Over Britain... After a lull on the 27th, the Germans attack again. They lose 30 aircraft and Fighter Command 20. One attack is made by fighters alone and the British commanders are tricked into engaging it on the assumption that it is a mixed formation. During the night there is the first of a series of four raids on Liverpool. Around 160 aircraft are sent each night.
In the North Atlantic... The British armed merchant cruiser Dunvegan Castle is sunk by a German U-boat.
