In Angers... The Polish government-in-exile publishes a white paper today giving a general view of Poland's relations with Germany between May 1933 and October 1939. Among the revelations is that Hitler tried to involve Poland in a plot to attack the Soviet Union. It was proposed by Goring during a visit to Warsaw in February 1935. In a discussion with the Polish leader, Marshal Pilsudski, he suggested that Poland and Germany should mount a joint invasion of the Ukraine. The Poles insist that they gave the Germans no encouragement whatsoever.
In Germany... Goring decrees that all articles made of copper, bronze, nickel and other useful metals must be given up for the war effort.
In Finland... The evacuation of 470,000 people from the territories ceded to the Soviet Union commences. (It is completed on March 26th.)
In China... Twenty-seven out of 30 Chinese fighter planes are shot down by 12 Japanese Zero fighters over Chengtu. The Japanese suffer no losses.
In Australia... Prime Minister Menzies forms a new coalition Cabinet to improve the direction of the war effort.
