Battle of Verdun

A small number of Germans reach the top of the Souville heights, and at least one German soldier claims to have seen the rooftops of Verdun. This is the nearest the Germans will get to Verdun, and their foothold on the ridge is too narrow to hold.

War at Sea

The German S 13 class destroyer S 22 is sunk by a mine.
