In Britain... From today newsreels must be submitted to the ministry of information before they are exhibited. Newsreels were exempt from scrutiny by the British Board of Film Censors because they were produced to tight deadlines twice weekly. The ministry film division has appointed a liaison officer to convey guidelines for film propaganda to newsreel producers. An "editor" will view all newsreels before release. The word "censor" is not used in the announcement.

In Occupied Poland... Goring confiscates former Polish state property.

In Helsinki... The Finns announce the formation of a Foreign Legion, including British volunteers.
