The Winter War... The Soviets begin attacks on Viipuri, Finland's second city. There is hand-to-hand fighting in the suburbs of Viipuri; Soviet troops capture the railway station.

In the North Atlantic... The cruiser HMS York intercepts the German SS Arucas off Iceland, but the German crew scuttles her.

In Britain... The public has now invested £100 million in National Savings since the war broke out.

From Berlin... The date for the invasion of Norway and Denmark is set as March 17th but this will be altered to early April.
