In Germany... On the 7th anniversary of the Nazi regime, Hitler speaks at the Berlin Sportpalast. He demands Lebensraum (living space) for Germans and ridicules Chamberlain, Churchill and Daladier. He notes that, since "they started the war, ...they will get all the war they want."

From Berlin... Heydrich orders more expulsions of Jews from the Reich to Lublin in eastern Poland. Meanwhile, Himmler authorizes the deportation of 30,000 gypsies.

In the North Atlantic... German bombers attack shipping off the British coast. Also, the German submarine U-55 attacks a British convoy off Land's End, sinking 2 ships. U-55 is later damaged by the British sloop Fowey and a Sutherland flying boat. The submarine is forced to scuttle.

In Britain... A national campaign is launched today to utilize almost all of the 120 million tons of household waste that are disposed of every year. Scrap iron and steel as well as waste paper are singled out as being urgently required.
