About the Finnish fortification on an isthmus Ladoga - Onega

The interesting russian photo album appeared on a S-Petersburg resource - the Finnish defense, strengthenings at the front on the river Svir. I think, it will be interesting also to the Finnish companions.

Thank you very much.
Very interesting.
Quick look shows nice photos of the destroyed river Svir dam: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 4151&hilit
...and also reveals how Finns had to leave the well fortified areas at quite good shape.

Regards, Juha

Hi thanks so much for this , I will be discussing it with my elderly mum over the next few days, and she was stationed here in 1944 with her Lotta unit

I'll let you know what she says.

Regards

Mart
