yes I have, the Army is on page 317...but I just added it without looking (copy and paste) with all the other stuff. Its not very good--

Er, no. When I ran through

5th Army (Soviet Union) to A-class was that as well I think; anyway, that's how I did it following the recommendation for the 51 Army. If it's got a heading immediately over it, it looks better, but 'Includes:...' is not a style that gets articles promoted; strictly a temporary arrangement.

During theSiege of Leningrad the Finnish forces were stopped by the 23rd Army under Marshal Govorov as they crossed the old Soviet-Finnish border on the Karelian Isthmus. The Finnish attacks repeated several times during September-December of 1941 upon German pleas for attacks on Leningrad. This caused Britain to declare war on Finland on December 6, 1941.^[1] The Finns temporarily took, but failed to keep Beloostrov.

The Finnish order of battle involved I Corps (2 infantry divisions), II Corps (2 inf divisions) and IV Corps (3 inf divisions) - all were stopped in the northern suburbs of Leningrad by the 23rd Army.

Sources? If Mannerheim gave order to stop offensive on the certain line days before the line was reached, it is not suitable to say that 23rd stopped the Finns on that line. --Whiskey (talk) 10:17, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
