Battle of Syrjäntaka was a 1918 Finnish Civil War battle fought 28–29 April in Syrjäntaka, Tuulos, between the German Baltic Sea Division and the Finnish Red Guards. Thousands of Red refugees were fleeing east, while they were blocked by a small unit of Germans in a highway crossing in the small village of Syrjäntaka. After hours of desperate fighting, the Reds managed to break through and continue their journey. Battle of Syrjäntaka and the preceding battle in Hauho were the only battles the Germans lost during their one-month military campaign in Finland. They were also the last Red victories of the Civil War. The battle itself was totally unnecessary. It had no effect to the result of the war and either side gained nothing as the Reds were captured only a couple of days later.

  • Striden vid Syrjäntaka ägde rum under finska inbördeskriget mellan den 28 och 29 april 1918 mellan rödgardister och tyska trupper. Östersjödivisionen hade landstigit i Finland under april månad och efter erövringen av Tavastehus den 26 april började de röda sin reträtt mot öster. För att skära av reträttvägen skickade generalmajor Wolf fem enheter infanteri mot Lampis-Syrjäntaka. Tyskarna lyckades inte stoppa de röda, utan besegrades vid Syrjäntaka by den 29 april och fortsatte att retirera mot Lahtis. Under dessa strider brändes Syrjäntaka till grunden. (sv)
