Last months question
Defensive fortifications known as the MANNERHEIM LINE were in what country. Who attacked these fortifications in Nov 1939?
Last months answer . . .
The Mannerheim Line
Hello,
I am probably too late, but the Mannerheim line was in Finland. The Russians attacked it during their war with Finland immediately after the start of WWII. The Russians' poor performance in that war was one of the factors that convinced Hitler that Russia would be an easy target for attack.
Thanks,
Jingikan

The Mannerheim Line in figures
Total length approximately 135 km (if the start and end points of the line are connected by a straight line, the length is 96 km) The amount of concrete used in the fortifications totaled 14 520 cubic meters of concrete. There were 11 roads which run through the Mannerheim Line

When I approached Sami about Havoc using the content from his page, He said that seeing the IAAPA site brought back memories of many a night playing Axis and Allies. Please send Sami a thank you for allowing us the opportunity to review his fine work. A lot of time has been spent on his page and there is a wealth of information to be had within its pages.
Thanks Sami
