From: military@att.att.com (Bill Thacker) Tuesday, 13 February, 1940 The breach in the Mannerheim Line widens, and Summa itself is captured. Finnish troops are now fighting a slow withdrawal toward Viipuri. There are reports of a large, new Soviet Army massing for a final thrust. It is further rumored that the Allies have prepared one Canadian, one French, and one Polish division for deployment to Finland. The US Senate passes a bill advancing up to $20 million worth of export credits to Finland. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives cuts $111 million from the Navy Supply Bill. Dr. Robert Ley, head of the German Labor Front, calls for a worker's revolution throughout the capitalist world. His proclamation calls for the people and nations of the earth to "annihilate the old English dragon." -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Bill Thacker military@cbnews.att.com Send submissions for "50 Years Ago" to military-request@att.att.com "Workers of all lands, including English and French workers - unite !
