T.Mattila was killed) on June 12, 1944. The location for both cases (KIvennapa) is in the Viipuri (Vyborg) direction.

Source is M. Bykov, description of the fight - Kulakov from 103 GvIAP (currently alive in St-Petersburg). We need a description of the fight from finnish side, since quite often kills were confirmed later, and written down also for later date.
