1940 Chronology: 13 April

In Norway, the Second Battle of Narvik takes place and seven German destroyers are sunk.

The British government gives a new directive to the head of the RAF's Bomber Command, Sir Charles Portal; in the event of a German invasion of BElgium and Holland, bombing targets are to be troop concentrations and lines of communication and installations in the Ruhr; heavy bombers will operate mainly at night.
