In Norway... German forces are pushing out from Oslo in all directions. They take Kongsberg to the southwest of the capital.

In the Norwegian Sea... Gneisenau, Scharnhorst and Admiral Hipper are located by air reconnaissance southwest of Stavanger on their way home. Attacks by British land-based and carrier aircraft fail. Despite this escape the German navy has lost heavily in the campaign so far.
