Jatkosota - "The Continuation War" Frame 3

Jatkosota - The Continuation War

Sunday European Campaign - March 2013

The Finns called this conflict the Continuation War, because it was seen as a continuation of events that began 
with the Winter War. What began as a defensive strategy, designed to provide a German counterweight to Soviet
pressure, ended as an offensive strategy, aimed at invading the Soviet Union. The Finns had been lured by the
prospects of regaining their lost territories and ridding themselves of the Soviet threat. In July 1941, the Finnish 
army began a major offensive on the Karelian Isthmus and north of Lake Ladoga, and by the end of August 1941, 
Finnish troops had reached the prewar boundaries. By December 1941, the Finnish advance had reached the 
outskirts of Leningrad and the Svir River (which connects the southern ends of Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega). 
By the end of 1941, the front became stabilized, and the Finns did not conduct major offensive operations for 
the following two and one-half years.
