At his headquarters in Rastenburg, Hitler meets with Himmler. The head of the SS presents his project for German schools. Children considered to be of Aryan race living in the occupied territories will be separated from their parents and educated in Nazi schools. The Fuhrer signs Directive Number 41 relating to Fall Blau (Case Blue), the German offensive with the objective of putting an end to the Soviet war economy. In Europe British planes carry out one of the most daring missions of the war. Twelve heavy Avro Lancaster bombers flying at low altitude enter German airspace and attack a diesel engine factory in Augsburg. Seven planes are shot down and the other five suffer damage but manage to get back to base.
