Noticed she said shelling , on a good warm day with wind blowing into Dover from the sea those Battleship guns on train tracks on the french coast could actually reach into Dover Town which the woman standing outside her smashed house is saying..

Hitler didn't demolish Dover, but the council did. Returning after 50 years was a big disappointment.
