In France... Polish cryptographers break the Luftwaffe Enigma key of October 28th. This allows for routine decoding hereafter.

The Winter War... Finnish forces recapture Kursu, southwest of Salla. Soviet forces are driven back some 12 miles (19 km).

Over Germany... RAF Whitley bombers make night leaflet raids on Prague and Vienna.
