At the Command Post everyone was joyful, a Russian tank had been destroyed and the defense line held tight even if the battalion forces were strained to the limit. Then another tank attack came, an Assault Gun raced in the lead with a supporting Stalin tank in an overwatch position. Both AFV's fired shots, trees fell like sticks, splinters flew in every direction, dust and smoke swirled up by detonations and tracks. The IS-2 began pounding the defenders. Panzerfausts were shot to no avail. The other beast continued its mad drive, turning, shooting, and raising large clouds of dust, firing in all directions.

The Continuation War, also known as Second Soviet-Finnish war, was a conflict fought by Finland and Nazi Germany, against the Soviet Union (USSR) from 1941 to 1944, as a part of World War II. In Soviet historiography, the war was called the Finnish Front of the Great Patriotic War. Germany regarded its operations in the region as part of its overall war efforts on the Eastern Front and provided Finland with critical material support and military assistance, including economic aid. The Continuation War began 15 months after the end of the Winter War, also fought between Finland and the USSR. There have been numerous reasons proposed for the Finnish decision to invade, with regaining territory lost during the Winter War being regarded as the most common. Other justifications for the conflict included President Ryti's vision of a Greater Finland and Commander-in-Chief Mannerheim's desire to annex East Karelia. Plans for the attack were developed jointly between the Wehrmacht and a faction of Finnish political and military leaders with the rest of the government remaining ignorant. Despite the co-operation in this conflict, Finland never formally signed the Tripartite Pact, though they did sign the Anti-Comintern Pact. Finland's leadership justified their alliance with Germany as self-defence.
