outflank the Mannerheim line, to
cut behind it by encircling the
frozen shores Of Lake Ladoga.

worst disaster of the Russian inva-

The nightly Finnish communicate

constant day and night assaults.
These reports said the Russians,

break through the Finnish lines,
had been led into a death trap.
Moving sluggishly, the Red army
