In Norway... The passenger ship Mira reaches its home port after numerous German air strikes during a six day crossing of the North Sea. None of the 107 passengers and crew are seriously injured.

In London... The British Treasury forms a company to trade with the Balkans in an effort to counter German economic penetration in the region.

In Germany... RAF bombers strike at German destroyers off Wilhelmshaven.

From Berlin... Goring broadcasts an appeal aimed at German youth which notes that Germany will defeat Britain and France and create the greatest empire in the world. He notes that German young people must behave with decency and morality.
