- The Battle of Helsinki was a 1918 Finnish Civil War battle, fought in 12–13 April between the German troops and Finnish Whites against the Finnish Reds in Helsinki, Finland. Together with the battles of Tampere and Vyborg, it was one of the three major urban battles of the Finnish Civil War. The Germans invaded Helsinki despite the opposition of Finnish White Army leader Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim who wanted to attack the capital city with his own troops after Tampere had fallen on 6 April. However, the Germans had their own interest in taking Helsinki as quickly as possible and then moving further east towards the Russian border. The city had been under Red control for 11 weeks since the beginning of the war. The German Baltic Sea Division landed in Finland on 3 April and entered the Helsinki area eight days later. In the city centre, the defending Reds did not have defensive lines or barricades but were fighting inside single buildings and blocks, which the Germans then had to take one by one. During the battle, life in Helsinki went on as usual. The shops and restaurants were open, the public transportation functioned and factories were running. Curious spectators were wandering so close that the Germans had to tell them to move back. The White supporters considered the Germans liberators and handed them flowers as well as tea, coffee and snacks to eat. Nearly 500 people were killed in the battle. The number includes about 400 Red Guard fighters who were killed in action or executed after capitulation, 54 Germans and 23 White Guard members. The number of executed Reds is unclear, but it is estimated between 20 and 50. After the battle, from 4,000 to 6,000 Red Guard members or supporters were arrested. (en)

April und die letzten Rotgardisten legten ihre Waffen am nächsten Tag im Arbeiterviertel nieder. Die deutsche Siegesparade fand am 14. April statt. (de)
- Slaget om Helsingfors var ett slag under finska inbördeskriget som ägde rum den 11–13 april 1918 i Helsingfors, då tyska Östersjödivisionen erövrade staden från de röda. Tyskarna hade landstigit i Hangö en dryg vecka tidigare och avancerade snabbt mot Helsingfors. Under slaget om Helsingfors understöddes de av de vita skyddskårerna, vars deltagande i slaget dock var mycket begränsat. 54 tyskar, 23 vita och cirka 400 röda stupade under slaget och flera tusen röda togs till fånga och internerades. Den tyske generalmajoren Rüdiger von der Goltz gav order om intagning av Helsingfors torsdagen den 11 april. Första dagen koncentrerades striderna till Esbo och på fredagsmorgonen nådde tyskarna nuvarande Mannerheimvägen och Böle i Tölöviken. Efter intensiva gatustrider kapitulerade de rödas högkvarter i Smolna den 13 april, varefter tyskarna inledde beskjutning av de röda fästena i Broholmen och Hagnäs. Samma dag kapitulerade de röda, men striderna fortsatte ännu till den 14 april då de rödas sista bastioner erövrades. (sv)
