| 3 | The bn in the early hours attempted to create a diversion because 15 (S) Div were attacking VENLO further North. The diversion took the form of H.F. tasks and movement of carriers, which provoked little enemy retaliation until 0610 hrs when H.Q. area was fairly heavily shelled by 88 mm. Bn was warned that the river would rise at 0945 hrs (this turned out to be the third false alarm, the dam further upstream not being blown by the RAF). Intermittent shell fire occurred throughout the day. |
