Date makes it all a bit of a puzzle to me. I've seen the other pic of the 303 StuH who is driving on the kilpeenjoki road towards Ihantala which dates to either june 30th or very early july and I've always thought the date of this specific picture that Leopardi posted would of been around the same time, but looking through the sa-kuva archive it says it was taken on the 7th of july. What makes it puzzling is the fact that at that point the battles have started to show signs of ceasing, but it doesnt change the fact that Tali has been lost and is under the control of the Red Army. How would these stugs be at Tali in such a late date?
Now, the entire term for Tali is kinda widespread. It usually means the entirity of the surroundings of lake Leitimo, spreading from a small village of Mannikkala all the way to Portinhoikka and Nurmilampi. In smaller scale it can mean the village of Tali itself. Now, it is clear that in this situation the larger term is in question but it still does not clarify anything. Even at the northest tip of the region that you could count into what belongs to Tali is still way off from where these stugs were already positioned at by the time they took the photo.
I'd love to say that they are misusing the term Tali because it seems so plausible that these stugs are either somewhere in Ihantala or the photo was taken earlier than 7th of July, in which case they could be at Nurmilampi area or on the main highway between Ihantala and Portinhoikka. But since I doubt they are either going to the battle or are in the battle, I'd say they are getting situated somewhere north of Ihantala.
