8 July 1941

In Berlin, Finnish national socialist Erkki Räikkönen "demands" Leningrad to Finland.

Declaration is given to the people living in the areas occupied by Finns.

It is a set of instructions on how the people should behave; people should remain where they live and continue to work as normal.

The civilians can also be called to specific work duties when needed.

Any civilian who opposes or in any way does harm to the Finnish Army is seen as a criminal and is condemned to death.

Adolf Hitler states that both Leningrad and Moscow need to be destroyed.

German 169.Division and SS-Nord attacking towards Salla break the Russian lines and the enemy retreats to the Kairala line. The Finnish 6.Division reaches the southern end of the line.

Finnish daily losses: 102


Grave of a Finnish soldier at the border in Ilomantsi.
(I think it might actually be a signpost -D)
