Fiji under heavy air attack.
The HMS Fiji, Gloucester and Greyhound were attacked by the Luftwaffe off of Crete, and sunk. Some regard this as the first ship v. air battle. The Royal Navy was attempting to intercept a German troop carrying convoy, which they were aware of due to Ultra intercepts, but it had been delayed by the late arrival of its Italian escort.
Croatian Jews were ordered to wear yellow Stars of David.
