Question

Why Anne frank called 26 July 'tumultuous day'

Answer 1

Anne referred to 26th July as a tumultuous day because a siren had gone off in the morning while the annex members were at breakfast signalling the plane crossing the coast. At two-thirty in the afternoon, the sirens began wailing again and half an hour later the drone of engines faded and the house began to hum with activity again. But the unmistakable smell of fire spread everywhere and the city seemed to have been enveloped in a thick fog. There was a big fire with another round of air raid warning, gunfire and swarms of planes following suit. The bombs rained down, this time on the others of the city and according to the British reports, Schiphol Airport had been hit. The air was abuzz with the drone of engines and Mr Kugler eventually reported that the Fokker aircraft factory had also been hit.
