Another lap on the way to Calais, 22 miles from the English port of Dover—that in brief is today's story of the Germans’ continued advance. The two center arrows peinting teward each other show where the trapped Allied army in Belgium and the French army on the south are attempting to break through the thin German corridor to the sea and encircle the Nazis now on the coast, thus suddenly turning the tables. France claims the gap now is only 25 miles wide, It's here where the Battle of Flanders is being waged.

Hint Separate French Peace
French sources said the German hrusts up the Channel coast should not be taken seriously, since the motorized units which reached RBoulogne and {he vicinity of Calais were believed to be too weak to endanger Allied positions The Allies believed that the outJock for the immediate future would be decided in the battle now waged in Flanders. In Berlin, however, the importance of the German thrusts to the Channel was stressed. Paris can wait, these German sources said, because vhen the Belgium Allied force has been bottled up completely the war on the Continent will be over, When this happens, they added, France may be forced to sue for peace, after which Germany will take Great Britain separately.

From the summit of Dover's chalk cliffs, artillery commands all approaches by sea. The whole coast line is protected by a series of defenses which, although old, may play a part in modern warfare, These are a string of cement blockhouses built more than 100 years ago when the danger of a Napoleonic invasion was in the air. The blockhouses have walls 15 feet thick and, equipped with modern weapons, should prove a formidable barrier even to modern artillery and air bombardment. German possession of Boulogne, however, seriously disrupts British transports to France and certain special defense activity, The Dover“Under conditions prevailing, Calais route no longer there can be little doubt that most maintained, it was admitted, even of these damaged aircraft were if the Allies succeed in holding lost,” the Ministry said.
