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.
