THIS DAY IN WW2 (19th July 1941)
From London.. At midnight there is a BBC broadcast by “Colonel Britton” urging the creation of resistance forces with the slogan “V for Victory.” The BBC has been introducing programs to Europe with the Mose signal for V for some time. Following this resistance members paint V signs on walls and German posters and it becomes a symbol for all Western European resistance movements.
On the Eastern Front… Guderian receives orders that after the Smolensk battle is over he is to move his force south to join the Kiev battle. This proposal is very much Hitler’s idea. Guderian objects strongly, arguing that it will be far better to continue the attack toward Moscow.
In the North Atlantic… The United States Atlantic Fleet forms TF-1 for the protection of the American forces on Iceland and support for convoys bound there. The carrier Wasp flies a cargo of P-40 fighters to the island. A naval buildup begins. The US Navy has instructions to provide escorts for ships of any nationality sailing to and from Iceland.
In Tokyo… In line with the Imperial Conference decision of July 2nd, the Japanese present an ultimatum to the representatives of the Vichy French government demanding bases southern Indochina.

TODAY’S SELF-OBSERVATION
Missus went to doctor’s and been diagnosed with mild gastro-enteritis. Already eating again, albeit small portions, she has a doctor’s note that will take her into the holidays. Her generally more positive/responsive demeanor yesterday lifted my morale – I guess we “all knew where we were”, and in the absence of clients, who were all booked for other days, I did some holiday planning. I kinda got “lost in the dream” for most of yesterday, mostly out of Higher Awareness, but it was mainly enjoyable/productive.

TODAY’S ONELINER
I’ll tell you what I love doing more than anything: trying to pack myself in a small suitcase. I can hardly contain myself.
