Overview:
After Russian resistance in and around Suomussalmi collapsed, the dark outlines of enemy soldiers were seen fleeing across Lake Kiantajarvi, back towards Juntusranta. This left the Russian 44th Division stalled along the Raate Road between Raate and Suomussalmi, bogged down and pinned in a 'motti' along the roadside. Col. Hjalmar Siilasvuo acted decisively, dividing up his forces and using them to cut the 44th off from reinforcements. Each section of the Russian column, made up of tanks, guns, men and field kitchens was eliminated by ski troops coming out of the forests in what became known to the Russians as 'belaya smert' or the White Death.Attacker: Finnish (9th Division)
Defender: Russian (44th Rifle Division)
