In Stockholm... A Soviet diplomatic note to the government of Sweden suggests that the Soviets are prepared to negotiate with the legitimate Finnish government and, implicitly, to abandon support for the puppet communist regime. The note states: "The Soviet Union has no objection in principle to a possible agreement with the Ryti government."
The Winter War... The battle of Kuhmo begins. Finns encircle the Soviet 54th Division at Kuhmo, in the "waist" of the front. Heavy Soviet air raids target Finnish ports.
In the North Sea... German aircraft attack British merchant ships (2 sunk) and 2 lightships, between Shetlands and Kent. The lightship E. Dudgeon is bombed and 7 of the 8-man crew die.
In France... Premier Daladier delivers a stirring broadcast speech: "Germany hopes to encompass our downfall by exploiting weakness at home..."
From Angers... The Polish government-in-exile in France claims that the Nazis have killed 18,000 prominent Poles during their occupation of Poland.
