Got busy yesterday and forgot to post.

Not to worry. I figured out how to throw up the onwar.com daily update. Which I did for 12/1 and 12/2.

British bomb strikes Germany
Sunday, December 3, 1939 www.onwar.com

Over Germany... An RAF Wellington bomber accidentally drops a bomb on Heligoland. The bomber, part of 115 Squadron, suffers a “hang up” when one of its bombs fails to drop over the targeted German shipping. The bomb later falls off on the island of Heligoland, the first bomb of the war to land on German territory.

In the Winter War... The Soviet 8th Army achieves a small success near Suojarvi. The Finns pull back a little in this sector. They also send a small reinforcement to the forces opposing the advance of the Soviet 54th Division of 9th Army near Kuhmo.

In Sweden... Army reservists are called up and a minefield is laid off the east coast.

In South Africa... The Royal Navy battle cruiser Renown and aircraft carrier Ark Royal arrive in Cape Town.
