HMS Malaya torpedoed escorting convoy
Wednesday, March 19, 1941 www.onwar.com
In the North Atlantic... The British battleship Malaya is seriously damaged by a torpedo from U-106 when with a convoy in the Atlantic. The Malaya goes to New York for repairs — the first major British warship to receive such help.
In Belgrade... The Germans repeat their demands on Yugoslavia. They now give the Yugoslavs five days to make a decision.

Also, the return of Wild Bill Donovan...
Today’s edition is prettty good!
