After dark, when the bombers from both sides took off upon their routine tasks and as the Kent and Sussex countryside flickered with the fires started by day, the invasion fleet drew closer from ports which glittered by the light of flares, guns and bombs. At this time, too, the German long-range guns began a steady pummelling of Kent, one which was to last throughout a tortured night. By comparison with the cacophany and glare on either side of the Channel, the scenes of orderly intent on the airfields of Germany, where the paratroops filed to their machines, were of an exciting tranquillity made vivid by the beat of hearts stimulated by the thrill of participation in this historic and uplifting moment.
