British troops on the Tiddim-Fort White Road [photo at link]

In Burma... In the advance of British 14th Army over Kennedy Peak, Fort White, to the south of Tiddim, is captured.

On the Western Front... German resistance on Walcharen ceases and the garrison survivors surrender to the forces of the Canadian 1st Army. The US 3rd Army begins a new offensive around Metz and to the south. During the day, the Seille River is crossed, and Nomony captured.

In Italy... British 8th Corps (part of British 8th Army) launches new attacks south of Forli.

In Germany... Austrian fighter ace (258 victories), Major Walter Nowotny, is killed in his Me262 which crashes near Achmer.

In London... After the German propagandist Joseph Goebbels publicly announces the V2 rocket campaign on Britain, Prime Minister Churchill admits that the mysterious explosions in southeast England, in recent weeks, are in fact the result of the missile strikes.
