August 8, 1940: The First Day of the Battle of Britain. During
the morning of 7th August, 1940 over twenty merchant ships set
sail in Convoy CW9 “Peewit”, and edged past Dover as daylight
faded. But the large convoy had been seen by the Germans from Cap
Gris Nez and E-Boats left Boulogne to watch and wait for the
convoy. With horrendous suddenness the E-Boats were amongst the
convoy as it passed Newhaven. Like a pack of wolves into a flock
of sheep, the Germans scattered the convoy and mayhem ensued until
the attack was called off in the gathering light. The rest would
be left to the Luftwaffe.
