A Police Warning Notice of German Shelling, 1940. Britain during the Second World War. 'At Cap Gris-Nez [on the French coast] where the Channel was narrowest, the Nazis rolled out their heaviest cannon and pointed them towards the White Cliffs of Dover. Thus began the siege that this gateway to Britain was to endure for four years...For Dover, over and above the air raids, the unique but doubtful honour of shellfire. With this form of attack they couldn't win the war, but they could make life for the citizens of this little Kentish town a hell, and did'. From "Time To Remember - Standing Alone", 1940 (Reel 2); documentary film about events of later months of 1940.
