depicts the attack on the Soviet 44th Division on 1 January 1940. In the motti actions that typified this war, the Finns used the mobility provided by skis to great advantage. For the immobilized column of the Soviet 44th Division shown here, the New Year opened with a night-time attack by Finnish ski parties. The raiding Finnish parties have established themselves along both sides of the road in order to be able to fire down its axis.
