June 1944

Eastern Front

Soviet forces reach and capture Vipurii, leaving the Finnish South Eastern Army shattered. The scale of the defeat compels the Finns to draw forces away from the Army of Karelia, exactly as anticipated by the Stavka. The next phase in the destruction of the Finnish army is about to begin.

There has been more than 10,000 partisan attacks on the railways behind Army Group Center since June 19.
