In the Solomon Islands... American forces land on several islands of the New Georgia group. Rendova island is targeted, in particular. All the landings are successful. There is heavy Japanese resistance on Vangunu. The American forces engaged for these landings are principally the 43rd Division (General Hester) with naval support by Task Force 31 (Admiral Turner) and land-based aircraft commanded by Admiral Fitch.
In New Guinea... A mixed Australian and American unit known as McKechnie Force lands at Nassau Bay near Salamaua from Morobe. There is heavy Japanese resistance to the landing.
On the Eastern Front... There a numerous small-scale engagements along the entire front.
In Occupied Poland... The commander of the Polish Home Army, Grot-Rowecki, is arrested by the Germans in Warsaw.
That fellow Wallace sounds like a loose cannon, wonder if he'll be around for another FDR administration?
"The enthusiastic advocates of Douhet will say that, if the numbers of bombers are magnified, Sicily and Europe can become Pantelleria. Perhaps. But what is enough? Throughout the history of war men have said, 'Give me enough and I shall defeat the enemy' - enough elephants, enough cavalry, enough archers, enough spearmen, enough rifles, enough guns, enough tanks. Today it is enough planes. But there has never been 'enough' of any one arm; victory has always been achieved in the final analysis by a combination of all arms, all weapons working in a perfect team."
This sort of reminds me of Victor Davis Hanson.
