On the Western Front... The Canadian 2nd Corps (part of Canadian 1st Army) begins attacking remaining German forces south of the Scheldt, between the Leopold Canal and the southern bank of the river around Breskens. Flooded terrain contributes to a lack of progress.

Over Germany... There are heavy day and night raids on Berlin.
