Italians Route Shepherds and seize Greek island stronghold
The British Broadcasting Company reported a record Italian success in a shortwave program. It said 200 Italians landed from two destroyers on a Greek island southeast of the mainland, shelled the coast for half an hour, then scaled the beach in force.

In Sweden, a provisional extension of military training was proposed to stretch the training period from 140 to 96 hours by government decree based on King Gustav's recommendation.
