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.

"Catholic Support of Nazis Indicated – 9"

The German Catholic clergy are generally given high marks for their opposition to and persecution by the Nazis.

However, here and there as in other countries, there were exceptions. Apparently this is one...
