German air power in Sicily growing

Wednesday, January 1, 1941 www.onwar.com

In the Mediterranean... The strength of the German 10th Air Corps in Sicily is now 96 bombers and 25 fighters. At this time the RAF has only 15 Hurricanes in Malta.

In Berlin... Ribbentrop, the German foreign minister, meets Filov, the Bulgarian prime minister, to discuss arrangements for allowing the passage of German troops across Bulgaria. No agreement is reached but Bulgaria is now nearer to acquiescing to German pressure to join the Tripartite Pact.

Fleet Kept a Unit

Let's get all those eggs in one basket. And make sure that they don't have torpedo nets in place.

Sounds like a plan is starting to come together.
