R-111 (forthcoming Ps. 231-3) in Äänislinna at 30.1.1944. This sotka was captured from Räisälä-Kaukola area in summer 1941. This was the first time finns encountered T-34 in battle and also the first sotka to be captured. The crew had abandoned the tank after it was immobilized by artillery shelling. This sotka destroyed 4 enemy tanks during summer 1944.  Ps. 231-3 is nowadays preserved in Joensuu, Finland.

Finnish M/39 AT-rifle in position during continuation war. Its size made transportation difficult, so it was nicknamed "Norsupyssy" ("Elephant Gun")

F4U Corsair drops a bomb on Japanese positions on Umurbrogol Mountain, Peleliu, 1944. The airfield was so close to the frontlines that planes would take off and drop their bombs before they retracted their landing gear.

Finnish anti-aircraft rifle M39/44 on improvised AA mount. The AT rifle was fitted on top of a tree trunk cut approx. 1.5m tall using a simple hinged device. M39/44 AA rifle was basicly M39 AT Rifle modified to fire full auto and fitted with AA scope.

"Lying in terror looking longingly up the slope to better cover, I saw a wounded man near me, staggering in the direction of the LVTs. His face was half bloody pulp and the mangled shreds of what was left of an arm hung down like a stick, as he bent over in the stumbling, shock-crazy walk. The half of his face that was still human had the most terrifying look of abject patiences I have ever seen. He fell behind me, in a  red puddle on the white sand."--Tom Lea, Life Magazine artist, Peleliu, 1944
