Beschreibung

THE LOST RUSSIAN SKI BRIGADE A hard fate in the Finnish Winter War The work talks about a special operation in the Finnish Winter War in early 1940 and the harshness of winter warfare in Kuhmo in extremely demanding wilderness conditions. The superiority of the Red Army was overwhelming, and it already looked like they would make a breakthrough. But it turned out differently. Colonel Siilasvuo's 9th Division got its lines in order and positioned itself for resistance. The division stopped and tied up the attacking enemy forces on their route of entry. When the actual movement of the Red Army on the main roads became difficult and finally stopped completely, they tried to advance from outside the roads by bringing ski troops to help their own troops. Finns became familiar with one and feared division Dolin's ski brigade. The gathering started a special series of events, which will have its equal in the entire Finnish Winter War. In Russia, even to this day, people wonder where their ski brigade of a couple of thousand valuables disappeared in just a few days. The work contains several narratives, various statistics and war diary excerpts, color and black-and-white photographs and Finnish-language sketch maps, as well as the work's extensive list of contents and sources.
