On This Day in History - December 29, 1939
December 29, 1939 #OTD Winter War: Battle of Suomussalmi Soviet 163rd Division, trapped in the Finnish village of Suomussalmi for the past 22 days, began evacuating on an ice road over Lake Kiantajรคrvi; troops of the Finnish 9th Division attacked the rearguard. Meanwhile, in Moscow, Russia, Stalin endorsed Chief of Staff Shaposhnikov's plan for a major attack on Finnish forces on the Karelian Isthmus; Semyon Timoshenko volunteered to lead the offensive as the disgraced Kirill Meretskov was demoted to the commander of the Soviet 7th Army. Pictured: Soviet BT-5 knocked out by Finnish troops in a "motti" during the Battle of Suomussalmi, December 8, 1939 - January 8, 1940.

Roxelana Hurrem Sultan
