President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill meet in the White House. They agree that American arms production should be doubled. During a press conference, Roosevelt declares that the government is considering the possibility of transferring the war industries, especially the aeronautic sector on the Pacific coast, to the interior, due to fears of a Japanese attack on the West Coast of the United States. In Russian winter is the harshest of the century. In response to Stalin's exhortations, Soviet industries are making a huge effort to manufacture thousands of T-34 tanks and Ilyuchin-II planes. Furthermore, aid is arriving from the US and the United Kingdom through Persia, Vladivostok and Arkhangelsk.
