Over Britain... There is an especially heavy and effective German attack on Coventry involving 449 planes. Factories and historic buildings are badly damaged. Warning has been received during the afternoon of the day and the few precautions possible at this short notice have been taken by the relevant authorities.
In the Balkans... All the Greek forces have gone over to the offensive against the Italian invaders. Reinforcements have been brought from the troops facing Bulgaria. British aid to Greece begins to arrive. Over the course of the next two days, four cruisers ferry 3400 troops and airfield staff from Alexandria to Piraeus. By November 20th another 4000 have arrived.
In Singapore... The new British Commander in Chief for the Far East, Air Marshal Brooke-Popham arrives.
