Tabmow discovered 25 months ago- The Soviet Union tried to conquer Finland through attrition. In the end they were invaded by a military force about the size of a quater of their population. Initially the Allies were sending support against Russia at the beginning of the war. Amazingly Finland managed to maintain itself as a nation despite the force of the USSR by utilizing the cold winter and focusing their fire on kitchens, communication, and leadership.

- Saruman FTW! From the page: "Finnish immigrants in the United States and Canada returned home, and many volunteers (one of them future actor Christopher Lee) traveled to Finland to join Finland's forces"

- From the page: "The vast bulk of the Red Army's troops that fought in the Winter War were taken from the southern regions of the Soviet Union. It was Stalin's opinion that Soviet troops from the area immediately bordering Finland could not be trusted to fight against the Finns. These southern Red Army soldiers had no experience with Arctic winter conditions and virtually no forest survival skills. Not only were they up against the Finns who were experts in winter warfare and knew the land, the weather during the war was one of the three worst winters in Finland in the 20th century.[14]"

- Good gods. Look at the number of dead on each side. From the page: "The vast bulk of the Red Army's troops that fought in the Winter War were taken from the southern regions of the Soviet Union. It was Stalin's opinion that Soviet troops from the area immediately bordering Finland could not be trusted to fight against the Finns. These southern Red Army soldiers had no experience with Arctic winter conditions and virtually no forest survival skills.
