Joulukuussa 1941 rintamalinjat vakiintuivat, ja sota muuttui asemasodaksi myös Metsäpirtissä. Vartiointi ja partiointi jatkuivat tauotta päivin ja öin kylmässä, lumisessa metsässä, koetellen miehiä jatkuvasti. Joillakin osuuksilla käytiin yhä ankaria yhteenottoja. Yksikin virhe saattoi vaarantaa etulinjan, minkä vuoksi valppaus oli herkeämätöntä. •••••••• [ sa-kuva | 70262 | M.Persson ]

An infographic of the most iconic military machines from the Second World War (1939-45). WWII marked a decisive shift in the nature of warfare, as victory depended not only on soldiers and commanders but on the industrial capacity, technological innovation, and logistical systems of entire states. Under leaders such as Adolf Hitler (rule 1933–1945), Joseph Stalin (rule 1924–1953), Franklin D. Roosevelt (presidency 1933–1945), and Winston Churchill (prime minister 1940–1945), nations mobilized science, factories, and labor on an unprecedented scale. Military machines became extensions of national strategy, designed not merely to fight battles but to sustain long-term, global war.

USS Franklin (CV-13) in the Elizabeth River, off Norfolk, Virginia, 21 February 1944

Thick black smoke billows from the forward superstructure of the USS Arizona as it sinks into the waters of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The devastating Japanese attack left the battleship in ruins, claiming the lives of 1,177 crew members. The inferno rages as twisted metal and broken structures collapse into the sea, marking one of the darkest days in American history. This tragedy propelled the United States into World War II, forever changing the course of global events.
