Maaselkä Isthmus: Soviet 1st Ski Brigade attacks across the frozen Lake Onega to Suurniemi cape, Southeast of Poventsa.

The Soviet offensive on Maaselkä Isthmus continues. The 1st Ski Brigade,
specifically formed and trained for the operation, begins to advance across
Lake Onega in freezing temperature towards Suurniemi.
Defending Suurniemi are two squads from Jäger Battalion 3, supported by two
"Whips" (45mm AT-guns). The jägers are taken by surprise and they retreat
to a road 4km to the North. After getting reinforcements, the jägers push
the Soviet troops back to the southern tip of the cape.

Finnish daily losses: 53

Sentry and his mighty castle.
