The USSR denounces Bulgaria's entry into the Axis, and protests
the movement of German troops into that country.

The front in Albania stabilizes some 25 miles from the capital of Tirana.
Greek troops have been halted in response to the new threat from Bulgaria.

German General Jodl presents the General Staff with a photograph of a
British Matilda tank, pointing out its thick 80mm armor.  There is much
concern over countermeasures to this effective tank.

"The old Russian adage, 'If you must live among wolves then do as the
wolves do,' seems to be a governing policy in the present Soviet regime,
evidenced by territorial gains since the beginning of the European war."
