Before there was the Battle of France, before there was the Battle of Britain, there was the Winter War. Just months after the start of the Second World War, the Soviet Union invaded Finland. But it didn’t go quite the way they had hoped.
My recommend book is A Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940 by William R. Trotter. Please support this podcast by purchasing the book through this Amazon affiliate link.
