Recently I found another mention of supposed Soviet paratroop operations. On this web page http://home.comcast.net/~harryfp/index.htm there is a list of historic combat drops of paratroopers, and the first two entries are:
Obviously the first entry is misdated, perhaps it should be February 1940. The web site doesn't give its sources, but a very respectable historian has stated to me that he has made much use of this list and found it to be (otherwise) reliable.February 1939
Nr Summa , Finland
Russia
Small Groups
Cut Lines of Communications
29 November 1939
Nr. Petsamo , Finland
Russia
Small Groups
Cut Lines of Communications
Now, the obvious quiestion is: did the Red Army perform these two small paradrops, or is this just another myth of Winter War? Could it be that these operations weren't so much true combat drops but insertions of spies and saboteurs (desanty)?
Any info is welcomed!
