On the Western Front... The German forces reach the Seine at Rouen and take the city. Dieppe and Compiegne are both captured. Guderian's forces are now in full attack against the French positions around Reims. They have been joined by Kleist's Panzer Group who have been switched east after being held between Amiens and Peronne. In the fighting the French defenders manage to hold most of their positions but take heavy losses.

From London... The king and his prime minister order the loyal Norwegian forces to cease fighting at midnight.
