12 February 1940 - DAY 75 of Winter War

Northern Finland: Colonel Dolin, commander of the enemy ski brigade bearing his name, is killed in a skirmish with a Finnish patrol in Kuhmo.

Karelian Isthmus: the Red Army enlarges its breakthrough in the Lähde sector.

The enemy fails to break through in other sectors of the front.

The enemy continues to attack on the Muolaanjärvi-Punnusjärvi isthmuses.

The Kirvesmäki stronghold in Taipale is lost and attempts to retake it prove unsuccessful.

Heavy fighting continues in Summa.

Referring to the aid Finland is expecting from the international community, Foreign Minister Väinö Tanner issues a statement in his own name via the Finnish News Agency in which he denies claims of attempts to broker a peace.

Prime Minister Ryti and Minister without Portfolio J.K. Paasikivi describe Tanner's statement as ill-considered.

While in Turku en route for a secret trip to Stockholm, Tanner receives details from Chargé d'Affaires Erkko of the Soviet Union's terms for peace.

The Soviet terms are passed on to the Finnish Government.

The Ministry of Supply announces new maximum prices for coffee: the maximum permitted retail price for roasted ersatz containing at least 25% coffee is 20 marks per kilo, with Rio blend at 34 marks, the Central American Santos blend 32 marks and Quality blend at 50 marks per kilo.

Abroad: Karl J. Ewerts, the director of volunteer recruitment in Sweden, returns from a trip to the Karelian Isthmus and issues a statement to the press calling for weapons, men and vehicles to be sent to Finland.

The first 10 Finnish flying cadets arrive in Stockholm for training provided by the Royal Swedish Aero Club.

In the United States, the 'one dollar collection' organized by the Finnish committee has already raised over a million dollars.

Daily losses: 503
