Neutral ships in Allied convoys targeted
Friday, October 20, 1939 www.onwar.com

From Berlin... The German government warns that neutral merchant ships joining Allied convoys will be sunk without warning. It is also announced that Hitler has signed a decree by which 3,000,000 Jews now living in Poland will get their own territory in eastern Poland, with a Jewish capital at Lublin.

On the Western Front... There is patrol and reconnaissance activity between the Moselle and the Saar rivers.
In Britain... The war office recommends that soldiers at the front read both Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto.

In Melbourne... The prime minister, Robert Menzies, announces the reintroduction of compulsory military training, for home service, in January 1940.

"From Berlin... It is also announced that Hitler has signed a decree by which 3,000,000 Jews now living in Poland will get their own territory in eastern Poland, with a Jewish capital at Lublin."

In fact, nothing of the sort ever happened. Instead, Jews were shipped to tiny ghettos and expected die there of disease, starvation or exposure. The surviving remnant would then be treated to "special actions."
