Naval moves by Germany were pretty evident from the searches. However, they did move a task force into the 3 box of the Baltic Sea and loaded Von Leeb and a militia.

Italy pulled a CP from West Med and moved a CP with a picket to Italian Coast.

Japan's two naval moves put additional CPS into the China and South China Seas.

Japan moved a bomber to near Yamashita and a nav to Hong Kong. Italy rebased a fighter next to Algeria while another one went to Tunisia.

Turn sent.
