In Berlin... Admiral Raeder again talks to Hitler of invading Norway. Rosenberg, the Nazi Party's political and racial expert also introduces the head of the tiny Norwegian National Unity Party to Hitler. His name is Vidkung Quisling.

In the Winter War... The Finnish defense brings the attacks of the Soviet 9th Army, near Kuhmo, to a halt.

In Rome... The Fascist Grand Council confirms the Axis alliance, but votes to remain out of the conflict.

In London... It is decided that Polish squadrons are to be attached to the RAF.

In Washington... The American government protests the British blockade of Germany, stating: "Whatever may be said for or against measures directed by one belligerent against another, they many not rightfully be carried to the point of enlarging the rights of a belligerent over neutral vessels and their cargoes, or otherwise penalizing neutral states or their nationals in connection with their legitimate activities."
