Tali-Ihantala est dédié à l'une des batailles majeures de la guerre finno-russe de 1944. Au cours de celle-ci, les force soviétiques lancèrent une large offensive avec des troupes bien supérieures en nombre et réussirent à percer les lignes finlandaises. Forcées de se replier, les troupes finnoises durent contre toute attente mener un combat acharné afin de préserver l'indépendance de leur pays face aux velléités d'annexion de leur voisin communiste.
