At 11.15am on 3 September 1939 Neville Chamberlain announced that this country is at war with Germany. The next eight months became known as the Phoney War. Britain moved troops into France, while German, British and French troops faced each other over the Maginot Line. However, the war was far from Phoney, away from the borders of France and Germany. On the day war was declared the first merchant navy loss was the Athenia, an unarmed liner carrying 1,418 passengers and crew, sunk by the U-boat U-30. In December 1939 the German Graf Spee led the Royal Navy across the South Atlantic before being cornered in Montevideo and scuttled. Meanwhile the first air raids took place, against the Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland in October 1939, and Shetland in November, and German mines were dropped or laid along Britains coasts.
