THURSDAY 17th JUNE 2010 12:45(BST)

THIS DAY IN WW2 (17.6.40)
In Britain... Churchill broadcasts saying that the Battle of France is over and that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. His message is "Let us so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour."

In France... The Petain Cabinet takes office. Weygand is Minister of Defence. They announce that they are asking Germany for armistice terms.

On the Western Front... Pontarlier, almost on the Swiss border, is reached by Guderian's forces. Other units have nearly reached the Loire and still more are advancing in Brittany and Normandy.

TODAY IN MY LIFE
After networking and shopping this morning, blogging networking and follow-up before domestic stuff after teatime.
