US NAVY
ATLANTIC—Attack on St. Nazaire concludes with HMS Campbelltown
successfully ramming the caisson in the drydock area.
US ARMY AIR FORCE
ZONE OF THE INTERIOR—Units of I Bomber Command engaged in
antisub operations are placed under operational control of Commander, Eastern Sea
Frontier.
US ARMY
LUZON—Japanese,
moving into position for all out offensive against Bataan, feint against I
Corps and push in OPL of Sector D on II Corps front. Increasingly heavy air and
artillery bombardment of Bataan is lowering efficiency of defense force as well
as destroying badly needed materiel. Efforts to run the blockade and supply the
garrison with necessary items have virtually failed, and supply situation is growing
steadily worse.
BURMA—General Alexander, at request of General Stilwell, agrees
to attack on Irrawaddy front. Reconnaissance elements of Burma I Corps clash
with enemy at Paungde, SE of Prome.
