It remained the Easter season and Orthodox Easter had not yet occurred. Armenian Orthodox at St. James Church in Jerusalem were conducting the foot washing ceremony associated with the season.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, Italian forces assaulted Tobruk but were repulsed by artillery. The military government in Iraq that had seized power there in a recent coup asked the Germans for military assistance against the British.
On the same day, Yugoslavia surrendered to Germany, although that would not bring any semblance of peace to the country, which would soon be the location of a protracted guerilla war.
