 On the Western Front... The French 7th Army advancing into Holland is engaged with the German advance near Tilburg and is thrown back. In their main armored thrust the Germans enter Sedan without a fight. The French forces in the area retire to the left bank of the Meuse
River where they have substantial artillery support deployed to deny the crossing to the Germans.
During the night, French artillery shells Sedan. Meanwhile, other German
armored forces reach the Meuse farther north.
