The Winter War... Soviet forces capture Repola, northeast of Viipuri, as well as Karppila and Ruhela on the north shore of Viipuri Bay.

In Helsinki... Marshal Mannerheim, president of Finland, urges the government to make terms with the USSR.

In Rome... The German foreign minister, Ribbentrop, meets with the Italian leader, Mussolini, and invites him to meet with Hitler.

This sentence seems to imply that Mannerheim is the president of Finland at this point which he actually wasn't. He was president later in 1944–1946.
During Winter War president of Finland was Kyösti Kallio.
