Battle of the Atlantic

Deutschland is recalled from her patrol south of Greenland after an inauspicious mission. It will not be the last time in the war that the mere threat of the presence of a German capital ship is more potent than her performance.

Poland

The Free City of Danzig and the Polish Corridor are officially annexed to the Reich, along with the frontier territories ceded to Poland in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles. These include eastern Upper Silesia, the area of Lodz and the district of Ciechanow. Stalin annexes the western Ukraine (formerly eastern Poland) into the USSR' territory as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
