These long videos take forever to make, so give us a kiss... I mean, a like, a like, please, no kisses. Similar video on the Battle of Greece: https://youtu.be/_jDBQijICTo

“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
-
47:50 "they didn't know how to ski, and the forest spoke Finnish" xD
-
This is hands down the most underrated war of all time. The fins strategy all throughout the war while being completely outnumbered and outgunned was impressive say the least.
-
I live in Pitkyaranta, this is the town where the fighting took place. Outside the town we have a monument called the "cross of sorrow". It symbolizes 2 mothers, Finnish and Russian, who hold each other in memory of the lost sons of Finland and Russia
-
It feels illegal to watch this for free. What a joy to watch.
-
The genius of the finns and the incompitence of the soviets for most of the war is absolutely staggering
-
My grandfather was there, he didn't speak much of war, he told russian soldier was face torn apart from his suomi konepistooli burst. Never seen my grandfather crying before that, it was his testimony.
-
As a Pole, the fact that Finland stood up and fought such a brutal aggressor will stay on every Polish heart forever as a great example of how Finland preserved independence. Of course, Simo Hayha, Manneheim, etc. these heroes' stories are very popular in Poland.
-
This documentary definitely reminds me how tough some situations can be and Jesus how much stress it would be to be the leader of Finland.
-
35 dislikes were surrounded, put to motti and destroyed
-
Kiitos! You have put it all very well together in this documentary. As a patriotic Finn I want to thank you and show my support for the great work you have done. We will never forget the Winter War and our heroes who fought for our freedom and independence.
-
I can’t believe some few individuals who actually think that Finland was the one to blame here for the war.
-
Mad respect for Simo. Protected his country, did his duty and retired. He defended his land and never conquered someone else.
-
Soviet casualties due to revolution, war, influenza, starvation, and imprisonment in the first half of the 20th century, were greater than the entire populations of Finland, Norway, and Sweden combined. Incredible loss of life that's difficult to comprehend. If you were a Russian born in 1900 and you were fortunate enough to live till retirement, you would have been witness to almost every type of catastrophic event known to mankind.
-
This is the most glorious defense of your homeland historical account that I have ever heard of.
-
Respect to Finland 🇫🇮 from Turkey 🇹🇷. Brave warriors ❤️🇫🇮
-
Simo is the man. He popped a few hundred people, got shot in the face, survived, and then lived until the age of 96 dying in 2002. Damn. That's impressive.
-
Soviet Union:" We will conquer you in the winter" Finland:" You think winter is your ally? You merely adopted it, I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the summer until I was only a man. By that time it was nothing to me but blinding. The snows betray you because they belong to me."

I was given a book called "Ski Patrol" when I was a kid. It was about Winter War and the fighters who fought on skis against the Russian invasion. I loved that book and it was the reason why I was drawn to this documentary. Quite enjoyable. By the way, I got that book in 1965 and it's still on my bookshelf.
