Well this is pure propaganda.
Wikipedia has some general information cant link it propely before 10th post [&:], numbers are little off but total 60 men were parachuted in (between 21.07 and 28.07) or by seaborne operation (10.07). All men had finnish uniforms and finnish weapons.
wiki is not a reliable source, you would have been taught this at school and told not to use it as a cite.
In this case for the following reasons, wiki relates only post Declaration of war activity by Finnish units, so does not cover any pre war activity, for that you need to look at German 1941 acounts in which Abwehr equips 100 Officers and OR with Russian uniforms, coms and other equipment and employs them pre war, is sends them in two groups pre war from from Pellingi Island to Kumna Bay, one group is spotted and turns back, they later parachute in after war is declared and operate in Augviidu Tallinn, Narva regions.
I do like the notion that Nazi propaganda was so far forward looking tho.
The Estonian sites date the Operation Erna to July, and there are no mentions about Soviet uniforms:

Any pre-war activity from Pellinki island would probably be documented by the Finns, but can't really find any such documents.
You're absolutely right about Wiki not being a reliable source (I was once reading the wiki article about Iron Maiden, and at that moment it was an Italian rock band with Vince Rhames as the lead vocalist). But it's also difficult to decide which sources to trust since any propaganda can be nullified with some more counter-propaganda
But anyway, since this is the release discussion thread, I was wandering what might be the difference between Mud and Heavy Mud in inches and is the ratio of clay to sand in the Ukraine being tracked in the game?
PS. Really excited about the release! Clicking refresh relentlessly on the product page! Huge thanks for the whole development team!
