Not sure, if I am able to post tomorrow, so here's the err.. non-entry(?).
I put a bonus in, note: he uses the name "Äänislinna" in his translation, that is Petroskoi (Finns renamed it to 'Äänislinna' after it was captured). --- 17 December 1941 No entry. Here's another story from the front, translated by AHF member 'Lotvonen': Finnish daily losses: 24 Karhumäki. |

18 December 1941
Commander of the 6.Division, Colonel Viikla, shoots himself at his command post. Reason for his suicide remains unclear, but most sources point to 6.Divisions failures to achieve its objectives and his personal problems. What Colonel Viikla didn't know, was that he was to be promoted to Major General. He received the Mannerheim Cross after his death. Finnish daily losses: 20 Finnish and German troops pay their respects to Colonel Viikla. (Karmalampi) |

http://www.historia.se/Jamforelsepris.htm The sum is something like 1 240 536 000 modern dollars. The money was equivalent to the manufacture of 2500 Pz III tanks without radios and weapons War is expensive but I kind of wonder if my calculations are all wrong...
