Saturday, January 18, 1941 - England expects invasion this spring

[Louis]

It seems we are enjoying a little respite now, so that we may be prepared for the spring. About March, it seems, the Americans think the assault will come. If they think of lending us some of their Navy things must be pretty grim. I don’t like the look of it. We have got to put up with a lot more bombing of our towns, Mr Churchill says. As soon as the weather improves, I suppose, those horrible all-night raids will start again. -

There was a short break in the the nightly blitz, with no bombs falling on the nights of the 18th, 19th and 20th as snow storms bought a halt to German operations.
