The Doodlebug.
A very promising weapon.

And, for a time,
the basis of German strategy.

For eighty days and eighty nights,

they came rumbling in
over southern England.

One has viewed the model
with detachment.

The German plan was simple:

they hoped to batter and blast
the people of England

to the point where they would demand
a change in Allied strategy,

demand that the Doodlebug
launching sites in the Pas-de-Calais

be made the primary objective.

But there was no public demand
for a change of plan.

In spite of five years of war, the people
were as calm and courageous

as they were during
that great battle four years ago.

They were tested for the second time
and they did not flinch.

As Londoners examine
the model of a Flying Bomb,

another salvo was being prepared

across the grey waters
of the English Channel.'

- 'Range...'
- Range control.

That's all that is left
of the weapon

that was to prevent
the liberation of France.

The battle of London was part
of the battle of France.

Bastille Day came out into the open
for the first time.

The people of southern England
shared the battle

as surely as if they had fought
on French soil.'

The German plan failed.

Once again, the enemy underestimated

the courage of common men
and women,

the price they are willing to pay
in defence of a common cause.

For the second time in this war,
London paid a heavy price.

The gay defiance of the old Blitz days
was gone.

But their strength was greater,

for they knew that the long battle
was being won

and that their sacrifices
were speeding the victory.
