Police Fuehrer Sent to France
Adolf Hitler designates a brigade general of the storm troops as police fuehrer for occupied France to curb terrorism and sabotage. Heydrich arrives with plans to install Oberg for policing, as 93 hostages are executed in France over weeks. Sabotage hits Norway and Yugoslavia while Dutch saboteurs hinder the war effort. Heydrich's reach expands to Holland and Bohemia as reprisals rise. In Washington, officials warn motorists of gasoline rations amid wartime controls.
