In France... The French government offers to purchase "heavy water" from Norway. There is stricter food rationing in France.
In Berlin... The final directive for the invasion of Norway and Denmark is issued. Sumner Welles (US Under-Secretary of State) arrives for talks and meets with Hitler who says "there is no other solution than a life-and-death struggle."
In Britain.. Women are urged to wear light clothes in order to save darker dyes for forces uniforms. According to BBC audience research, about two-thirds of the adult population tunes in to Lord Haw-Haw's broadcasts from Hamburg. One person in six is a regular listener to his propaganda. Some 16 million listeners hear the BBC nine o'clock news every night and about 6 million of them them switch straight over to Lord Haw-Haw afterwards.
The Winter War... Soviet forces are within 6 km of the center of Viipuri. Fierce aerial dog fights take place over the city. The Soviet ultimatum putting peace proposals to Finland expires.
On the Western Front... The phoney war continues with a few artillery exchanges and a little patrol action.
