Не, бе, Куманич, чета си за същата война.
"The Finns had achieved victory, and the remnants of the two Red Army divisions had barely escaped destruction by breaking out from the encirclements. After the battle, Stavka (Soviet Armed Forces Headquarters) brought its offensive to a halt and gave up its demand for Finland’s unconditional surrender.
The Finnish President Mauno Koivisto spoke at a seminar held in August, 1994, in the North Karelian city of Joensuu, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Finnish victory in the crucial battle. The future President of Finland had witnessed this battle as a soldier in a reconnaissance company commanded by Finnish war hero and Knight of the Mannerheim Cross recipient, Captain Lauri Törni (who later served in the USA as a Green Beret under the name Larry Thorne):
In the summer of 1944, when the Red Army launched an all-out offensive, aimed at eliminating Finland, the Finns were "extremely hard-pressed", President Koivisto declared, but they "did not capitulate".
"We succeeded in stopping the enemy cold at key points," the President said, "and in the final battle at Ilomantsi even in pushing him back."
In a speech on September 4, 1994, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the armistice ending the Finnish-Soviet hostilities, the Prime Minister of Finland Esko Aho declared:
"I do not see a defeat in the summer's battles, but the victory of a small nation over a major power, whose forces were stopped far short of the objectives of the Soviet leadership. Finland was not beaten militarily..."
"Finland preserved her autonomy and her democratic social system..."
"Finland...won the peace.""
И това е само един малък епизод. Плановете на Сталин преди лятното настъпление през 1944 г е присъединяване на Финландия към СССР.
Благодарение на такива "малки" победи като горе-цитирания пример - руснаците приемат финландското предложение за мир и са доста по-меки при налагането на мирния договор. Да, Финландия е победена, но не става съветска. И общо-взето се връща в границите, определени от Зимната война.
Според мен за малка държава като Финландия си е направо победа.
Съветски загуби срещу финландците в периода 1941-44 г:
250,000–305,000 dead or missing
575,000 wounded
64,000 captured
890,000–944,000 total casualties
Not including civilian casualties, such as Siege of Leningrad
697 tanks destroyed
55 tanks captured
673 trucks captured
306 artillery pieces captured
300 tractors captured
303 aircraft destroyedРедактирано от goga на 10.09.18 07:36.
