Historical

U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his State of the Union Address said: “In previous messages to the Congress I have repeatedly warned that, whether we like it or not, the daily lives of American citizens will, of necessity, feel the shock of events on other continents. This is no longer mere theory; because it has been definitely proved to us by the facts of yesterday and today,”

The Finnish government claimed that over 400 Russian tanks and 150 aircraft had been destroyed since the start of the war.  The Finnish air force dropped three million pamphlets over Leningrad.
