On the Eastern Front... The attacks launched by German Army Group A continue to succeed. Proletarskaya is captured.

In New Guinea... Kokada falls to the reinforced Japanese troops. Aid which might have helped the Australians stave off the Japanese advance turns back when the planes carrying supplies are told incorrectly that the airfield is in already Japanese hands.

In London... A combined British and American Production and Resources Board is established in London to control allocations of material and industrial priorities. Mr. Harriman, the American Lend-Lease representative in Britain, and Mr. Lyttleton, the British Minister of Production, are to be the senior members.

From Berlin... Hitler dissatisfied with the progress of the 6th Army in the Don elbow, returns 4th Panzer Army to Army Group B. The 4th Panzer has spent the majority of the campaign traveling from one front to another.
