15 March-16 April 1918: The Battles of Tampere (15 March-6 April) & Helsinki (12-13 April)—The Whites took the offensive for the first time, leading to vicious house-to-house fighting against the Reds in Tampere; after the battle, hundreds of Finnish Red & Soviet prisoners were massacred; the German Baltic Sea Division landed (3 April) & swiftly conquered the Red stronghold of Helsinki.
Lest we forget.
