Kalevankangas Cemetery

The first goal of the White Guard had been to take Kalevankangas, the barrack area and the graveyard.

The Reds were protected by the gravestones and White veterans would later recall that it seemed nearly impossible to get to them.

Kalevankangas Cemetery still has headstones that have been shattered, or which have bullet holes.

The killed Reds and those who later died in the Tampere camp were buried in mass grave of 2,700 people.

[3][2][4] In 1928, a memorial was erected to remember the victims of the Imatra disaster of 1927.
