On this day, Canada declares war on Germany. From day one Canadian ships and aircrafts will take an important role in patrolling the North Atlantic waters and providing support to the convoys to Great Britain. Providing a direct safe heaven to Britain, the war effort and support from Canada were extremely important until the entrance of other world players in the fight against the Axis Powers.
Lord Gort, commander of the British Expeditionary Force, takes the first major forces into France.
Some successes of the Poznan and Lodz armies only adjourn the unavoidable: Poland is lost, the Air Force is in shambles and the ground forces are mostly surrounded or in retreat. The High Command, still hoping for an intervention in the West, now puts all bets in defending Warsaw.
