Petain encourages French collaboration

Friday, October 11, 1940 www.onwar.com

In Vichy France... Petain broadcasts to the French people, advocating that they abandon their traditional ideas on who are their friends and who are their enemies.

Over Britain... Liverpool is heavily attacked in the continuing German bombing campaign. Four ships in the port are sunk and other damage is inflicted.

In Helsinki... The demilitarization of the Aland Islands is agreed in a Finnish-Soviet convention.

In the Mediterranean... The British light cruiser Ajax is attacked during the night by first three then four Italian destroyers. Two of the attackers are sunk and two damaged.

"Supply Ships Seen – 2-3"

Can anyone explain what the deal was with Hungary?

Was Hungary in 1940 an ally or client state of Germany?
So how was it that Germam "supply ships" on the Danube River heading for Romania passed through Hungary with no apparent problem?

And did Romania invite the Germans in, or did German forces come on their own (or rather on Hitler's) initiative?
