*German Government declare waters round the United Kingdom a "war region" as from [[18 February]].<ref>Quote from German declaration: "The waters around [[Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]]....are herewith proclaimed a war region. On and after [[18 February|February 18]], every enemy merchant vessel found in this region will be destroyed without its always being possible to warn the crew and passengers....Neutral ships will also incur danger in the war-region, since....it cannot be guaranteed that attacks intended for enemy ships will not affect neutral ships also. Vessels sailing to the north of the Shetlands, in the eastern part of the [[North Sea]], and in a zone at least 30 knots wide along the Netherlands coast, are not menaced by any danger."</ref> |
