Hello! You have added the article about "Vyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive" section "Tuloksa landing operation"

The Soviets themselves estimated having captured 933 Finnish artillery pieces and 18,000 rounds of ammunition [30]

Somebody has later edited an addition" however many of the guns had been spiked."

I haven't read the referenced book by Nenye but The number of Artillery pieces lost by Finnish army is imaginary what ever the writer has written. The History of Finnish Field Artillery Part 2 gives the exact numbers of losses type by type and also the places where they were lost. According to the Order of the Battle the total strength of Finnish Field Artillery before the Summer 1944 was about 1200. According to the book the losses of Field Artillery on north side of Ladoga were exactly 123 of which 10 was lost in Ilomantsi battles. That number includes all the losses (worn out pieces, barrel explosions and other accidents, destroyed by counter artillery and air strikes and finally left intentionally behind). It would be nice to have credible research results in this kind of articles instead of numbers taken of e.g. war time propaganda. The original mistake in this case is probably in the book by Nenye but a credible author should always cross check somehow his sources.
