In Vichy France... Petain broadcasts to the French people, advocating that they abandon their traditional ideas on who are their friends and who are their enemies.

Over Britain... Liverpool is heavily attacked in the continuing German bombing campaign. Four ships in the port are sunk and other damage is inflicted.

In Helsinki... The demilitarization of the Aland Islands is agreed in a Finnish-Soviet convention.

In the Mediterranean... The British light cruiser Ajax is attacked during the night by first three then four Italian destroyers. Two of the attackers are sunk and two damaged.
