Wikipedia www site, June 27, 2008 (The Battle of Tali-Ihantala (June 25 to July 9, 1944), was part of the Continuation War (1941-1944) that occurred during World War II. The battle was fought by Finland, supported by forces of Germany against the Soviet Union and is to date the largest battle in history of the Nordic countries... The Battle of Tali-Ihantala was fought in a small area (100 km2) between the Gulf of Viipuri and the River Vuoksi. The Soviet attack was concentrated on the area east of the city of Viipuri (Vyborg), from the southern village of Tali to north towards Ihantala (Petrovka). This was the only suitable terrain for armoured forces on the Karelian Isthmus, 10 km wide and limited by lakes and the River Vuoksi on the east.)
