CHAPTER 3: ORGANIZATION AND TACTICS

Finnish Artillery

The course of the fighting for the Murmansk railroad confirmed the lessons of the Winter War and seemed to justify the following conclusions:

1. Warfare in primeval wilderness and in the tundra is tied to the few available roads. This is especially true in the summer. When the situation required an encircling movement off the road in the border area, time-consuming road construction work became a prerequisite, requiring not days but weeks. Decisions once made could not be reconsidered. Once troops had started advancing through the wilderness or once the order had been given committing them, nothing could be changed. The movement had to run to its completion. Everything required endless time to bring results.
