Summa, Finland 1939-12-19 (8 others)

Overview:

Despite it's reputation, the Mannerheim Line was nothing more than a series of strong points built around bunkers and fortified towns. The 5th Division was stationed in the Summa sector and was made up of untried troops except for a few border soldiers who had been involved in the delaying actions of the first weeks of the war. However the Finns had one thing that Russians hadn't counted on, Sisu! (Guts or Balls!). The first big Russian push in the Summa Sector began on 17th of December following a four hour artillery bombardment and a massive aerial attack.
