France: Liberated Districts Ministry formed.
Britain: Meat ration coupon value raised from 4d to 5d (pork, poultry, game and pre-served meats unrestricted). Churchill vainly asks for Admiralty rather than War Office.

My name is Norman 'Kretaner' and since my childhood I am interested in history and strategy games. Later, I have learned programming and the development of computer games, and finally with the Internet, also web design. I'm in the fortunate position to combine all my interests with my work and to live on a place of my choice, on Crete. All information, figures, specifications and statistics used here had been compiled from a variety of sources and the large, over decades collected, library of the author about military history, WW2 and weapons.
