The Winter War... The battle of Taipale begins. Red Army forces launch a major offensive to break through the left flank of the Mannerheim Line. The Soviet effort is aimed at achieving a crossing over the frozen Taipale River.

In France... The government bans the sale of meat (except pork, goat and horseflesh) on Mondays and Tuesdays.
