Syskyjärvi defence
I'm trying to locate tank obstacles and -ditches made before the Winter War on Syskyjärvi area.
A few have been found between the lake and road to Lemetti.

Siira-road, there is a line, at-ditch ?
http://wikimapia.org/#lang=fi&lat=61.68 ... 6&z=13&m=b
Lavajarvi motti-area, one at-ditch south of the road, between lakes.
http://wikimapia.org/#lang=fi&lat=61.65 ... 4&z=15&m=b
Does anyone knows any other obstacles made before the Winter War.
Leppäsyrjä village, at-obstacles near the road to Syskyjarvi, no info, line under the white cross. Any other ?
Regards Jukka

Re: Syskyjärvi defence
A part of a hand drawn map created by the HQ of the IV Army Corps on 29 November 1939 and overlaid on contemporary topographic map. The original fortification map is from folder T-2866/8.
The red triangles are anti-tank obstacles ("hv.este"), the red arches fighting positions ("tuliasema"), the blue lines barb wiring ("piikkilankaeste"), the "Y" obstacles ("murros") and the "X" in a circles are places were explosives have been placed ("räjäytys").

Great, perhaps we can see the entire map ...
Re: Syskyjärvi defence
Unfortunately the original map is several metres wide and very delicate, so I was unable to photograph the whole map without damaging it.kuuskajaskari wrote:Great, perhaps we can see the entire map ...

Re: Syskyjärvi defence
Yes, it is a problem with those coverage maps.
