Despite the
initial weakness of its armed forces, Great Britain declared a naval
blockade of Germany on September 3, two days after the latter
invaded Poland. The Royal Air Force dropped 6 million leaflets on
towns in northern Germany and the Ruhr district, the first of the
propaganda raids.
Germany
countered with a naval blockade of its own against Britain on
September 11, stating that since economic warfare had been forced on
it, it could not but repay in the same coin.
