It /as disclosed only today that, a- a ncren to divert and confuse British air and naval forces, a fleet of German bombing platies had mad.- the heaviest daylight attack in many months on the British east coast yesterday as the German warships were approaching the Dover Strait. When last sighted at dark yesterda ythe German ships had srattered under the Biitish attack but they were "nearing" 11-lgoland even then, it was admitted, with probably not more than 150 miles to go. The sole hope of latching them lay in the possibility that sonic ferocity of British planes, warships had been so badly damaged by the and coastal guns that their speed had been inaterialy reduced. The British attacked with every thing they had. including Canadian air force planes which flew Into the deadliest area of the battle.
