When Russia's thrusts across Finland's narrow waist bogged down, then turned into the rout of Suomussalmi, the Finns contemptuously pointed out that the drives had been haphazardly planned, poorly supplied. But when, last fortnight, Russia began pounding away on all fronts, there was every indication that this mightiest offensive of the war had been carefully planned, was well supplied, and employed seasoned Red Army troops...
