Winter War.

And everybody thought vikings don't exist anymore :rolleyes:

They're still around, they're just waiting for Russia to attack again.

Indeed.

That's why when I take over the world I'll just leave Finland alone.

Actually, Finland was never really a viking country, but that's beside the point here. The Russians were idiots during the Winter War, going into Finland in the middle of the winter without proper clothing or gear. Then, the Finns used their wilderness skills, invented the molotov cocktail and the rest is history. My grandfather knows some people who fought in that war.

I never knew that. Still vikings to me :P



Everything you said is very true but it still really says something about them to even want to attempt to fight the USSR let alone actually do it, and successfully at that.

Oh yes, I didn't mean to discredit the Finnish war prowess. I've always had the greatest respect for those soldiers and I've done research about the time period. Their combat superiority in the forests was frightening and they had some of the world's best snipers.

Somebody Say Snipers?

The Finnish were indeed pretty skilled.

I forgot what they called it but they had a strategy where they'd use smaller groups to attack the Soviets from the flanks and rear, splitting them into smaller groups, which is actually a timeless strategy - divide and conquer - but from my understanding they used it very effectively.

I was about to mention Simo Häyhä. "Vita Döden", as we call him, is somewhat of a legend here.

I can only imagine.

What exactly does that mean, anyway? And how do you pronounce his name? I've always thought of it as See-mo Hey-ah.

Vita Döden simply means "white death" or "the white reaper". I think the name was inspired by the white suit he wore.

And his name is pronounced see-moh hey-haa

It most likely was. Can't think of any other reason.

Ah, so I was close. Thanks :)

Your version is as good as mine, really. It's hard to get the proper pronounciation down in text like this.
