In this history documentary we turn our attention to Winter War of 1939 which saw the Red Army invade Finland. While the conflict appeared one sided at the outset, the Finnish defenders stunned their world by holding the Soviet juggernaut at bay.
-
In this Units of History series we will explore the soldiers who made this feat of arms possible in the face of the Russian Invasion of Finland. We first explore the roots of the conflict between Finland and Russia and how this would inform the evolution of the Finnish Army in the lead up to the Winter War. We then cover the defensive doctrine which was to characterize the war and the nature of the soldiers who would conduct it. This includes a focus on the equipment of the Finnish Ski Troops responsible for manning the front lines and carrying out the defense in depth.
-
In comparison Red Army troops had more numbers and equipment but lacked the specialized gear necessary to operate in winter conditions. And finally we review the organization, tactics, and service history of these Finnish troops who were to hold the Red Army juggernaut at bay.
