	Winter War Campaign - Part I: Boulder Dash
		Finland ultimately lost this war and thus ceded roughly ten percent of its of its territory.
		Although technically a loss for the Finns, the Winter War provided a victory in that it maintained its status as a sovereign nation rather than end up absorbed into the U.S.S.R. The Finns simply fought too well for the Soviets, and the Soviets proved themselves clumsy and ham-fisted opponent for the Finns.

	Winter War
		During the Winter War, the Finnish fighters normally dispersed in small numbers to auxiliary camouflaged airfields to avoid detection and attack on the ground.
		The primary Soviet bombers of the Winter War, the Tupolev SB-2, discussed earlier in conjunction with their service in Spain and the Far East, and the larger and slightly slower Ilyushin DB-3, were both relatively fast aircraft with twin radial engines.
		Even though the Finns did not have a very effective air-direction system during the Winter War, they were often able to receive engagement and sighting reports that were valuable in allowing them to concentrate their limited forces where they were most needed.

	Winter War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Winter War (talvisota in Finnish, vinterkriget in Swedish) is considered by some a military disaster for the Soviet Union, and was interpreted by some as indicative of inherent weakness in the Soviet system.
		This partial healing of the wounds and rifts after the Finnish Civil War (1918), and Finland's language strife, is still referred to as "the Spirit of the Winter War," although it should also be noted that many communists were not allowed to fight in Finland's conscripted army because of their political background.
		The World War had not yet begun in earnest and was known by the public as the Phony War; at that time, the Winter War was the only real fighting besides the German and Soviet invasion of Poland, and thus held major world interest.

	Talk:Winter War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The real history of that war is very simple: the Russians seriously underestimated the strength of the Finns and the quality of their fortifications (in fact, the Russians did not even know that the Finns had modern flanking/interlocking fire forts, let alone where they were).
		I disagree the significance of Winter War to the survival of Leningrad.

		The relationship between the Soviet Union and Finland was tense and frosty—both the two periods of forced russification at the turn of the century, and the legacy of the failed socialist revolution in Finland contributed to a strong mutual distrust.
		Although Sweden had not declared her neutral to the Winter War, she was neutral in the war between France and Britain on one side and the Third Reich and the Soviet Union on the other.
		Diplomatically, Finland was squeezed between Allied hopes for a prolonged war and Scandinavian fears of a continued war spreading to neighboring countries (or of the surge of refugees that might result from a Finnish defeat).

	The Russo-Finnish War
		War in the wilds of Finland is not something to be taken lightly.
		With the exception of the Spanish Civil War, --- the Russo - Finnish Winter War was the most highly reported conflict in the western press during the period between WWI and WWII.
		If that little war could creep into the doggerel of my totally a-political granny, it's a sure sign of how the conflict between two far-off nations could become embedded in the consciousness of the then isolationist United States.

	Tactics in the Winter War
		After all, while the wartime mission of the Soviet Red Army was officially the defense of the "Socialist state of the peasants and workers", it had adopted the policy of "moving every enemy attack from Soviet soil to the aggressors land".
		Winter and forest were regarded as allies by the Finns, whereas the Soviets regarded them to be hindrance for their operations.
		It was also their duty to supervise the flow of supplies, the well-being of the men, the flow of the mail, prevent espionage and rumors etc. They were also responsible to provide the men entertainment shows, where the own stars of the Red Army, musicians and dancers would perform".

		Finland's successful armed defence in the Winter War thus laid the foundations for what Finland is today.
		This gave Finland an unspoken deterrent, which was to prove a vital complement to her overt reassurance policy during the Cold War.
		The country is still free, the population united and self-confident, the leadership style remains permeated by pragmatism, and Finland enjoys an international reputation as a reliable and constructive partner.

	Memorial Details: The Winter War Monument (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Winter War Monument, which is located in the county of Suomussalmi in central Finnland, is quite a remarkable memorial.
		In the middle of the woods very close to the Russian border, where some of the more ferocious battles in the Winter War was fought, a bilateral memorial to thousands of Finnish and Russian soldiers that fell in those battles was built in 2003.
		The sixty-five years that has passed since the war took place, with all the changes the new times has brought to the countries in question, is perhaps a good measure for the time that is required for former enemies to agree on a joint commemorative ventures on a national level such as this.

	MANNERHEIM - Commander-in-Chief - The Winter War
		Rapid advances, in the style of "Blitzkrieg", were unsuccessful, greatly owing to the familiarity of the Finns of their own terrain, which they could take full advantage of, and which prevented the enemy from taking advantage of their superior numbers in the winter conditions.
		In early March, battles were fought on the western bank of the Gulf of Viipuri and in the neighbourhood of the city itself.
		The red army had suffered substantial losses – altogether 100,000 casualties during the Winter War – and had difficulties in organizing their maintenance and supply, but, on the other hand, the resistance of the Finns too, began to give way, as reinforcements were hard to come by.

		When the sons of Ivalde withdrew their services from the gods, and made compact with their enemies, the terrible Frost-giants, the two giant-maids, Fenja and Menja, seized the handle of the great World-mill and turned it so violently that it went out of order, and disaster was threatened to the Universe.
		Now the Vana-god Njord sought to make peace between the gods and the sons of Ivalde, because at that time his son, the sunshine-god, Frey, was with them in northern Alf-heim, where he reigned as a king.
		The great hero who fought against the giants and Ivalde's sons in the winter war was Halfdan, son of Thor, who by tellers of old tales has also been called Mannus.

		Those who were old enough to remember the Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-40 generally remember it as the struggle of a David vs a Goliath.
		Many of those who cheered for the Finns in the Winter War were akwardly forced to change their stance when the Finns joined with Nazi Germany in the invasion of Russia a couple of years later.
		So, whatever their shortcomings might be, the Finnish materials have thus far been far more reliable...written by free people in a country that, partially due to heroics in the Winter War, remained democratic.
