German bombers target England

Wednesday, June 11, 1941 www.onwar.com

Over Britain... Numerous German Luftwaffe raids, on targets in England, are carried out during the night. Leaflets are dropped over rural areas of East Anglia threatening starvation as a consequence of a German victory in the battle of the Atlantic.

Over Germany... British RAF Bomber Command launches the first in a series of 20 consecutive nighttime raids on the Ruhr industrial area, the Rhineland, Hamburg and Bremen.

In the Dutch East Indies... Trade negotiations with Japan are broken off because the Dutch are unwilling to accept the Japanese demands for raw materials.
