Finish troops repulse Soviet forces in the 1st Battle of Taipale. It is a humiliating defeat for the Red Army.
The resumed Red Army offensive in the far north is threatening to achieve a breakout as Finnish forces are being pressed to their absolute limits in the coastal stretches east of Helsinki. Luftwaffe and Red Airforce planes are clashing over southern Finland and the Baltic as German ships begin ferrying soldiers to aid in the defense of Helsinki. Soviet aircraft out of airfields along the Baltic coast are sinking some German shipping headed for Finland but not enough to cripple the effort. The Red Navy, what there is of it, remains bottled up in Murmansk and doesn't dare come out to face the Kriegsmarine. Finland has formally entered the Axis Powers and the war is spreading.
Soviet forces continue a slow but steady advance towards Helsinki in Finland. More Soviet forces are now pushing towards Oulu and Tornio in northern Finland but a combination of rough terrain, harsh weather, and Finnish resistance is slowing the Soviet thrust. German infantry have only just begun to arrive in Finland in large numbers and are being carefully deployed as a strong reserve defensive force. German bombers, operating out of Finland, are beginning to hit Murmansk, Vyborg, Leningrad, and other cities vital in the supply of Soviet forces in Finland
