BANK HOLIDAY IN ENGLAND AND WALES
THIS DAY IN WW2 (30.8.40)
Over Britain... The Germans attack airfields in Kent and an aircraft factory at Luton. The important Biggin Hill sector station is severely hit as is the Luton airport. The Germans lose 36 planes and the RAF 26.
In Germany... A German sponsored conference concludes in Vienna. Hungary and Bulgaria have been recently trying to pick quarrel with Romania so that, following the example of the USSR, they can seize portions of Romanian territory. The Germans do not wish their grain and oil supplies to be threatened by a Balkan war and, therefore, intervene to adjudicate the dispute. A conference is called at Vienna and by the Vienna Award Hungary is given a large part of Transylvania and Bulgaria is given southern Dobruja. Romania can only acquiesce.
In Berlin... Hitler announces that he will make a decision on Operation Sealion (the invasion of England) about September 10th. This will mean that the landings cannot be until September 21st at the earliest.
