Soviet village shelled, Finns blamed
Sunday, November 26, 1939 www.onwar.com
In the Soviet Union... The Mainila incident takes place. Seven artillery shells are fired into the village of Mainila, killing 4 soldiers.
In Moscow... The Soviet government blames Finland for firing on Mainila and demands an immediate withdrawal of Finnish troops from the Karelian isthmus, near Leningrad. The government describes the presence of Finnish troops in the area as a “hostile act.”
In the North Sea... The Polish line Pilsudski, on charter to the Royal Navy, is torpedoed and sunk; 10 die.
In Britain... The prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, makes his first radio broadcast of the war, saying that the British know the secret of the German magnetic mines and denouncing the indiscriminate laying of mines by German forces.

i dont totally get the dispute over german trade embargo. what is japan and others saying? you guys have a war but we still want to do business as usual with the germans? that sounds ridiculous in hindsight, but i guess no one realized the major s-storm they were heading into.
laughable that the finns want to ban liquour. in a couple days they wil have bigger issues to worry about than hangovers.
