An interview of Mr. Hyry The battles at Tali-Ihantala in June-July 1944 were the largest ever fought in the Nordic Countries. In the focal point of battle the Red Army had in average 130 to 150 artillery pieces plus 59 rocket launcher barrels per front kilometer, that makes 520 to 900 field pieces plus 230 to 350 rocket launcher barrels for the same 4 to 6 km length of front. I thought this was a bad idea, considering that we were in battle contact with the enemy, and the result was that the relieving and relieved men were mixed up and everyone retreated. www.warlinks.com /pages/hyry.htm   (5447 words)
