Over Britain… Most of the German attacks are against aircraft factories up to the end of the month (September 30th). Factories in Bristol, Southampton and Yeovil are all hit but defending fighters exact a high price. The RAF loses 82 planes and the Luftwaffe 143.

In French West Africa… The British battleship Resolution is seriously damaged by a torpedo. The Barham takes a 15-inch hit from Richelieu. Following these setbacks the operation is abandoned on Churchill's orders.

In the Mediterranean… As a retaliation for the events at Dakar, Vichy air forces again attempt to raid Gibraltar. Again, little damage is done.

In Oslo… Terboven, the Reichs Commissioner, deposes the King of Norway formally and appoints Quisling to lead the new Norwegian government.
