    Translation:

    0:03: (cutoff sentence) – against russian bombing airplanes

    0:07: The journalist of the SF (Swedish Film Industry) was in Rovaniemi just when the bombing was commenced

    0:20: *Bombing noises*

    0:26: This was the last hour of the war, the last day, since peace was joined the 13th of March.

    0:30: The russian main forces had broken through on the Karelian isthmus

    0:35: Finland had no choice, and it was a peace on hard terms.

    Note that the time stamps refer to the time when the sentence **ends**, not when it starts.

  2. Okay am I the only one who suddenly can’t find the footage of the strike on Belgorod today or is the entire Internet being scrubbed of it? This sub had a few videos of it and now there are very few I can find on the Internet.
