From Berlin... In reply to the British governments announcement that British merchant ships in the North Sea will be armed, the German government announces that all such ships will be treated as warships. U-boat commanders are ordered attack without warning any ship which is likely to come under British control. This directive means that any neutral ship sailing towards a British-controlled war zone -- such as the English Channel, can be attacked without warning. Any ship following a zig-zag course is also liable to be sunk without warning.
In Norway... The German prison ship Altmark is sighted in Norwegian waters.
The Winter War... The Soviets capture Summa. Finnish forces are ordered to retire from the Mannerheim Line to their intermediate position.
