In London... General de Gaulle is recognized by the British government as "Leader of All Free Frenchmen."

In Libya... Marshal Balbo, Italian Governor and Commander in Chief in Libya, is killed by friendly antiaircraft fire while flying over Tobruk during a British air raid. Marshal Graziani is appointed to replace him.

When I was in Bayeux in June, I visited where he set up his provisional government, upon his return to the Continent following the D-Day landings. Very interesting.
