 | | This republic existed until March 12, 1940, and was eventually incorporated into the Russian Karelo-Finnish SSR. |
 | | Finnish immigrants in the United States and Canada returned home, and many volunteers (one of them actor-to-be Christopher Lee) travelled to Finland to join Finland's forces: 1,010 Danes, 895 Norwegians, 372 Ingrians, 346 Finnish expatriates, and 210 volunteers of other nationalities made it to Finland before the war was over. |
 | | Finnish troops had only to take their own winter clothing in many instances and had spent most of their lives in the forest, as the vast majority of Finns were rural dwellers until the 1950's. |
