RAF fights off German raiders

Monday, September 30, 1940 www.onwar.com

Over Britain... Day 82 of the Battle of Britain. There are five German attempts to bomb London. The aircraft from the first and second raids jettison their bombs over Hastings and Rexhill. An estimated 30 Ju88 bombers from the fourth raid reach the western suburbs of London and cause some casualties. Meanwhile, about 40 He111 bombers escorted by Me110 fighters aim for the Westland Aircraft Factory in Yeovil fail to find the target and bomb Sherborne (Dorset). Four German He111 bombers and 5 British Hurricane fighters are shot down. Total aircraft losses amount to 47 German and 20 British planes. During the night, London is raided again with the bombs dropping mainly on the suburbs. Other targets include Liverpool where some fires are reported.

Over Occupied Europe... RAF bombers conduct night raids on Berlin, invasion ports, airfields and other objectives. Five British planes are lost.

In Britain... Three German agents are put ashore from a seaplane on the coast of Banff, Scotland in Operation Hummer (literally translated to Lobster). All three are captured and two are executed. The third, a double-agent, Vera von Schalburg, disappears.
