Wednesday, February 21, 1940 www.onwar.com
General FalkenhorstIn Berlin... The preparations for an attack on Norway move forward another stage with the appointment of General Falkenhorst to command. He has been selected by the Armed Forces High Command (OKW) without consulting the Army High Command (OKH).
The Winter War... Blizzards hamper the Soviet offensive operations in the Karelian Isthmus.
In London... The government Treasury announces a token defense estimate of 100 pounds for the Army, Navy and Air Force for 1940. The actual figures are concealed for security reasons. Emergency measures to deal with a coal shortage arising from the severe winter weather includes a drastic reduction of passenger train services.
In Britain... The first successful test of the cavity magnetron at Birmingham University provides an important advance in the development of short-wave radar.
In Occupied Poland... The Inspectorate of Concentration Camps reports to Himmler that Auschwitz Camp, in “Incorporated Territories” of Poland, is suitable for use as a “quarantine center.”
Falkenhorst’s son-in-law (General Erich Dethleffsen)was apparently a Bilderberger.
