Positive proof is in the hands of the Finnish authorities that Soviet troops are using dum-dum bullets against Finnish defenders, says an official summary of military operations released here today.
In the Karelian Isthmus, the summary adds, 64 Soviet tanks have been destroyed, chiefly by land-mines. North of the Ladoga Lake, where Finnish artillery has been consistently active, eight Soviet tanks were destroyed. Soviet war prisoners revealed that some of them had only been in the army for three months and lacked extensive military training.
In referring to the use of dum-dum bullets, the summary states that most of the ammunition is prepared by the soldiers themselves, the points of the bullets being cut-off, thus laying the deadly lead-filling. bare.
