Transcript

We have yet to see a German plane over the amphibious convoy, which doesn't necessarily mean that we shan't see them before they attacked us over. Our air support has been fine, and the loudspeakers call out almost constantly Spitfires on the fort, or must dang overhead, or B-17s, acting on the Soviet side.

As far as I know, no report has come in. I'll talk by and I'll see sea traps onto the convoys. Now it's almost black-dark, and you see the ships lying in all directions just like black shadows on the great sky.

Some signaling out sheltered on the inside, some of the Germans died, signaling with red lights, blinking cold. There are four fires on the shore, Looking like ten points, winking, much less smoke. Now planes are going overhead.

That baby was plenty low. I guess I just made the statement that no German planes are between. And I think there was the first one we'd seen so far. Became very low. Just cleared our stack.

And as he passed, he let go of streams of Tracer that did no harm. And then just as that happened, there was a burst of fire on the coast off an aside miles. They keep out there, I mean.

German planes have been in the sky now, the darkness is honest. And the treasures have been flying up. They seem to have drawn from them for the moment. But the plane that we just had to come over our ship.

Well, it's the first night that we've seen so far. It took a pass at us and went on, and nothing to take it or happen. Our ship is just turning whistles. And now the flak is coming up in the sky, extremely from the warships behind it.
