During the nine day period that had passed since the Russians had been displaced by a Swedish attack across the Jandeba stream, the new defenders had been digging in and placing wire and mines in anticipation of the expected counterattack. At pre-dawn on 25 May, the defenses came under fire from Russian Artillery. When the barrage lifted, Swedish troops discovered Russian Sappers working their way through the defenses. Right behind the Sappers, more Russian troops poured through the woods, shouting "Urra", "Urra", "Urra". The Swedes replied by shouting the famous order from the defense against the Russian Invasion of 1808: "Släpp ingen jä vel över ån!' -"Let no Brute cross the stream!"

Jandeba, Russia

The Winter War was fought in the four months following the Soviet Union's invasion of Finland on November 30, 1939. This took place three months after the German invasion of Poland that triggered the start of World War II in Europe. Sweden did not become actively involved in the conflict, but did indirectly support Finland. The Swedish Volunteer Corps provided 9,640 officers and men. The Swedish Voluntary Air Force also provided 25 aircraft that destroyed twelve Soviet aircraft while only losing six planes with only two to actual enemy action and four to accidents. Sweden also provided a portion of the weapons and equipment used by the Finns throughout the war.
