THIS DAY IN WW2 (10.4.40)
In the Norwegian Sea... The First Battle of Narvik. Captain Warburton-Lee leads five destroyers in a surprise attack up Narvik Fjord. Both sides lose two ships. The British have one more seriously damaged while the Germans have four vessels hit -- two very badly. The German pocket battleship Lützow is badly damaged by submarine attack while homeward bound. Other German merchant ships from a convoy for Oslo are also sunk. The German cruiser Königsberg is dive bombed by land-based British naval aircraft while in Bergen harbor and sinks. This is the first major warship to be sunk by this method of attack.
In Oslo... The Norwegian government and Royal Family have left Oslo and Vidkun Quisling, head of the Norwegian National Socialist party, has been installed to lead a new government.

TRIVIA
In order to have a significant atmosphere, a planet also needs a magnetic field to strong enough to stop the Solar Wind stripping it away. Good thing we've got one then, eh?
