In Germany... The propaganda minister, Josef Goebbels, calls Winston Churchill a liar in a radio broadcast.

On the Western Front... Sporadic artillery exchanges take place. The no-man's-land on the Moselle-Rhine is described as a sea of mud.

In Occupied Poland... Soviet elections are held in the Soviet controlled western Ukraine and western Belorussia (formerly Polish territory).

In Ankara... British General Wavell and French General Weygand leave at the conclusion of successful talks with the Turkish General Staff.

In India... The Congress Party declines to support the British war effort and condemns British imperialism.
