In the Winter War... Finnish offensives against the Soviet 8th and 9th Armies continue. A "suicide company" of 250 Finnish ski troops tear up the vital Leningrad-Murmansk railway line at 3 points. The third Finnish attempt to drive the Soviets back from the north bank of Lake Ladoga is successful; the survivors of the Soviet 163rd Division are driven back. The Finns capture 11 tanks, 25 guns and 150 trucks; Finnish sources claim that the northern army has virtually destroyed the Red Army division of 15,000 men, near Lake Kianta. Reports claim that Soviet troops near Salla are revolting. In the Karelian Isthmus, Soviet pressure is maintained; 9 divisions are now deployed.
In Germany... Police issue a warrant for the arrest of the tycoon Fritz Thyssen, who once funded but now opposes the Nazis. He is believed to be in Portugal.
In Turkey... The estimated death toll has risen to 20,000 as earth tremors continue. An emergency relief operation is under way
