Correct!Mikko H. wrote:By 60kg trotyl charge in Alakurtti in August 1941. IIRC the tank was about to fall in Finnish hands intact, but as the men of the 6. Divisioona were promised vacation for destroyed tanks, the grunts played it safe by blowing the tank up!
Several other tanks were "lost" the same way too
I think that charge would be sufficient even today.
Over to you.

Thanks Mikko H.
New q: The church in Kivennapa was destroyed during the Winter War, and when the village was retaken during the Continuation War, Gen. Maj. Pajaris troops built a new church there. The new church had one function that made it unique compared with other Finnish churches. What was the function...?

Well, how to put it. I think the Pajari-church, as all other Finnish stone, wooden etc etc churches had a asehuone - Porch (asehuone = literally Weapon room). But it´s not that old function that the porch had I´m looking for.
Hint # 2: But, weapon room could be a somehow good point to start from when figuring this out. What function is similar with the Pajari-church and a Finnish medival stone church...?

Since no medivial church had a air raid lookout, I guess on firing slits.Esa K wrote:Well, how to put it.
