THIS DAY IN WW2 (10.5.40)
The Germans launch a major offensive in the West, attacking Holland and Belgium. Anglo-French forces cross the Belgian frontier to support the Belgian army.

In Britain...Churchill visits the King and officially takes office as prime minister.

In Norway... British forces are sent south from Harstad to Mo-i-Rana to join the small units trying to delay the German advance to relieve the Narvik force. Some of these units are now engaged at Mosjoen.

In Iceland... British troops land on the island. They are the advance elements of a force which is to set up a destroyer and scout-plane base to help in the convoy battles in the Atlantic. Equally, they will prevent the Germans using the island to aid their U-boat campaign.
