1940 Chronology: 13 March

Finland: At 11:00 am all hostilities cease on the Finnish front. In its war with the Soviet Union, Finland has lost some 25,000 dead, as against 200,000 lost by the Russians; the wounded number 45,000 against an unspecified, but certainly higher, number by the Russians.

By the end of the operations on the Finnish front, at least 45 Russian infantry divisions, 4 calvary divisions and 12 armoured groups have been deployed. The Finns have never been able to put more than 200,000 men altogether in the field.
