BEF transported to France without loss

In France... The transportation of the British Expeditionary Force is completed — without loss — under the protection of British and French naval forces. A total of about 161,000 troops, 24,000 vehicles and tanks and 140,000 tonnes of supplies have been delivered to France.

On the Western Front... Small German forces conduct raids of the French lines. There are artillery duels between the Moselle and Saar rivers.

In Germany... Hitler appoints Himmler as Commissioner for Consolidation of the German Race; his task is to eliminate “inferior” peoples from the Reich. Meanwhile, Hitler issues a decree ordering Poles to be evicted from western Poland or killed.

In Washington... The US State Department announces that the United States government will continue to recognize the Polish government-in-exile, presently located at Angers in France.
