THE GERMANS ARRIVE
A neighbour came rushing round, I think on the Sunday, to say 鈥榯hey鈥檝e landed!鈥, that was the phrase, 鈥楾hey鈥檝e landed!鈥. The Germans arrived by air, with those 3-engined Junkers 52s. As a child I thought they can鈥檛 be much good, they鈥檙e made of corrugated iron like we used to make the fowl house with! They came over in droves, quite close to our house, very low. You could see the dorsal gunner quite happily, the rivets and everything. I was worried they might drop bombs, but Dad said 鈥淣o, they are only troop carriers, they won鈥檛 do any harm.鈥
