7th Division (Finland)
- ... that the Finnish 7th Division was formed in 1940 by renumbering another unit to make it appear to the Soviets that it had been replaced with fresh troops? Source: "The 10th Division at Taipale also needed a well- earned rest, but there were not enough reserves to rotate into its sector. All that could be done was to renumber it the 7th Division, in the hope that the enemy would think it was confronted with a new unit here." from: Chew, Allen F. (1971). The White Death: The Epic of the Soviet-Finnish Winter War. Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps. p. 140.
