- The 20th Panzer and the 20th Motorized Division cross the Ulla River.
- The German 9th Army complains that it was receiving only 1/3 of its allotted daily requirement in rail supply leaving the army to rely largely on the Grosstransportraum and its largely horse drawn supply. The length of this supply line stretches 400 kilometers.
- The war diary of Panzer Group 2 records that 18th and 3rd Panzer Divisions are at 35% combat readiness while 4th and 17th Panzer Divisions are at 60%. The most fit panzer unit is 10th Panzer at 80% combat readiness.
