The Battle of Kelja, 25 - 27 December 1939 |
 | | Terenttilä is located behind the bend of the Taipale River, in the upper-right corner of the picture. |
 | | In other parts of the Taipale area, two attacks were made on 25 Dec, the first one with 5 lone tanks in Kirvesmäki, and the second one with 1,5 companies supported by 6 tanks in Terenttilä. |
 | | The timing of the barrages was constantly excellent, and when helped by the open terrain of Taipale and the enemy tactic of repeated attacks in the same point, the Finnish artillery managed to give invaluable support for the infantry. |
