the Greatest respect to Finns... you managed to stop that rats horde. Unbelievable... unfortunately, we, Balts had to fight against them for 50 years...
if the britts were planning to take the swedish ore mines.. does that mean that they were trying to move the war north? that scandinavia would be in centerstage?
From that last, "The Swedish Army, which had been downsizing its armed forces since the 1920s, transferred approximately 1/3 of its equipment to Finland among them 135 000 rifles and 330 guns and large quantities of ammunition."
If Sweden "didn't do much" it's because they didn't HAVE much.
So ironic. I was listening to "Heritance of Berija" by Kalmah. While I read a random article, unintentionally might I add, about Simo Häyhä. Both completely related, but mistakenly stumbled upon by random internet browsing.
For those who don't know, Kalmah is a death metal band who often writes music about the Finnish revolt against the Red army.
And Somo Häyhä was a well known Finnish sniper. He is easily the best sharpshooter in the entire world. Even after his death. He racked up 700kills
My father is from the areas the CCCP concuered, those lands are the lands he would like to see live because he lived there as a child. Now he is suffering of minor dementia and just dreams of his home... I would like to take he to see his homeland before hi dies...

"Finnish soldiers war motivated by fierce and determenet patriotism." Truly men war ready and willing to fight and die for the fatherland! Honor to the veterans who saved us from the russian bastards!!!
@gulsvartvasteras That's a very good question. Not untill Finnish politician really start to ask them back. Now they have been like little schoolgirls. Finland really need to start demand those areas back.
@gulsvartvasteras I can really only speak for myself here. What Soviet Union did for Finland, wasn't fair, actually it was crime for several reasons. If you want that I go to details, just ask. Russia has admit many of these crimes against Finland but its not doing anything to fix them. Putin himself said that WInter War was a mistake. If Russia would respect rights for Finnish people, there wouldn't be a problem. Now quite many Finns hate what Russia represent, not Russians itself.
@gulsvartvasteras Truth is that, most finns dont want those lost areas back. They are filled with unemployed drunks and much of the infrastructure is still close to level we left it almost 70 years ago. If it were possible to get them back empty, without people, maybe... otherwise it would be financial disaster to Finland and lead to quick collapse of our social system. People who talk about getting lost areas back are stuck in the past and unable of rational thinking.
ok my family comes from finland im the first generation in my family born in sweden acctualy and I think sweden and norway could have done way more. Finland had been a part of Sweden for so long and fought many wars at Sweden´s side and yet sweden refuse to assist I think that is kind of low but I still think that Finland should be grateful for the assistance sweden and norway gave.
@MrFredrikhuhtanen I agree, norway did fight but pretty much gave up immediately. Sweden also caved in immediately by allowing the germans to use our railroads for transportation. As far as helping the Finnish ppl, sure we did help but not on a scale that would make difference. We sent some rounds to their cannons that didnt fit, we sent food and made them warm clothes. However those things were all by vollunteers. Sweden as a country stood as neutral and was not to aid Finland. PS im swedish.
It is a shame that Sweden did not act when her neighbor was in trouble. Scandinavia was and still is well-suited for close cooperation.
It's important to realize that the Swedish government was a socialist one, as was the Soviets. Finland on the other hand had just defeated their socialist revolutionaries and were pursuing liberal policies (a good choice).
and we sented tons of gold in sweden cause we wanted guns,ammunition and food.well stupid us.we get some but not all what was in deal.that gold founted not so many years ago in some bank in stockholm.sorry my english.so all swedes dont say fuck FINLAND say thank you FINLAND.we deserve it

@rakkipallo One word - bullshit. The Swedish government, apart from the 12,000 volunteers, sent Hawker- and Gloster planes, as well as guns and ammunition. Stop being pissed for no reason and go back to school.
Red Army commanders lacked the tactical skills, training, and perhaps above all, the communication systems, to maintain continuous fronts. Although after Stalin's death his role as warlord was considerable diminished, his successors (e.g Putin) nurtured all the other legends of "The Great Patriotic War".
What russians don't want to see is the fact that so called "mighty red army" was actually just a bunch of shabby lowtrained soldiers commanded by unskillfull officers.
Finland fought there hearts but fought against too big of a force. Hail to all the Finnish fighers of the Russo-Finnish war and the Continuation war! At least Finaldn didn't become annexed or under the sattliete control of the Soviet Union because of those Finnish Soliders.

@serg123123 You know that those fucking ruskievodkabitches got owned in most of these fights at this finland vs russia war... vitun venäläine perseen-nuolija... -.-
Perhaps the Soviet performance in Finland served as a catalyst for Operation Barbarossa, spreading the war onto two fronts for the Germans.....which was ultimately Hitler and the Nazis undoing. It's funny how things work out...
@yeoshow Not really, the Winter War was already over when Hitler invaded Poland. The Finns were forced to give the Karelia to Stalin by the Moscow Peace Treaty. Then they joined the Axis when Hitler attacked the USSR.
@yeoshow But you're right to a certain degree, the Soviets were not prepared for such a harsh conflict and Stalin decimated his own military staff 2 years before. It convinced Hitler to attack the Soviet Union, he thought it was like giving a big kick in a crumbling door, until the winter 1941 came ...
The Fins defended their land and remained Free! The Finnish population can be damn proud of their nation! No one helped them and against all odds they still won.
so much hateful posts, i'm proud to be from Finland and I shed a tear for every soldier whom died for our country, I'm in debt for you forever.... R.I.P.
@alandec1 We were on our own side... Our goal was to survive wars and stay independent, our goal was not to affect what happend between allies and axis ect shit
@blockthehood Yeah were in war against Russia and Germany and actually officially against Great Britain too. Makes us big cowards to make trought those days... in your superior logic. Luckily no one has to care what u think, when you see cowards you know they are one and i'd say finns dont look like one.. I think your country was more coward, every health man of country were not in war like our mens were.. What kind of coward would we home when its war? :/
@TheQneb I will not criticise your spelling as I'm sure it's better than my Finnish but to volunteer to join forces with the SS that's low I will never think well of Finland ever again as for staying at home that's a joke i will not waste my time talking to anyone from Finland ever again COWARDS
@blockthehood I dont see a good reason to have this atfight here so im going to quit this too. I dont really see wise to call people coward or any other thing because what happend in WW2. I dont hate germans for example, even the nazzis did what they did, it was fucking 1940 not today its not anyones fault today. I dont give a shit what you think about me, and second if you judge people to be coward because what happened 50 years before the man was born, that just makes u look like idiot.
@blockthehood you sound quite butthurt... i tell you there was no Schutzstaffel troops on finnish soil! you obviously do not know what an SS is... there were wehrmacht troops on lapland burned it down too,DO you even understand how offensive that feels for you calling my dead grandfather a coward(yes you referred to all fins who fought) Your language has a word for people like you:twat(or twit) you are just some butt hurt britt who hasn`t read any history and hates finns
@blockthehood you are just some fat 12 year old in great britain who`s knowledge of history is based on games! you must be bloody perfect when you can judge my people so harshly ,if not you should kill yourself, k?
@blockthehood Your reply makes no sense you answered to me like a bot using the same argument as in the comment i replied to... could you explain what is this knowledge based on? as many have said finland was on finnish side as it should be today only a 12 year old views "sides" as something so black and white (ya know evil and good), germany didn`t have much more pop more than great britain in ww2 britain shouldn`t have had so much trouble defending? (i respect all veterans around the world)
@blockthehood answer me directly! did you even read my reply Schutzstaffel(SS) did not work on finland it was germany`s own "protection squadron"/praetorian guard
my fathers grandfather fighted as a swede in finnland, my mothers grandfather fighted in the wehrmacht, and myself i fight against the communists today!
@CJ7with285andt18 I am just curious. So how many generations your family has been living in USA?? Can you remember the name of finnish place your family is from?
@tupakki My grandfather fought in the Winter war. My family had moved south to Karelia in the late 19the century. After the war, they immigrated to my Strangnas, Sweden.
aina noi ruottalaiset selittää tääl et he autto suomea 8000 miehellä joo kyllä kyllä mut mitä mä olen lukenu ni ne oli ruottalaiset jotka anto ensinmäisenä periksi Mannerheim linjalla Talvisodassa ja siitä alko koko Mannerheim linjan murtuminen Lähteen Kaistalta.... Korjatkaa toki jos olen väärässä koska ei olisi kiva puhua paskaa mutta näin olen lukenut
Many men died because of this lack of true leadership. But perhaps it was better many died due to the failures of an idiotic regime getting their fingers severly burned than this farce to continue..
@IsFearrAnStair You mean after the Winter War or WW2? After the Winter War Finland lost Karelia, Salla-Kuusamo, Kalajastajasaarento in Petsamo, outer islands of gulf of Finland and renting Hanko near Helsinki to Soviet Union for 30 years. After the WW2 same as those but also whole Petsamo and istead of Hanko, renting Porkkala for 50 years. Also paying 300 million US gold dollars. Returning all finnish property which has been removing from those lost areas. Etc. Very hard peaces for Finland.
How come they were afraid? They were going to attack against Germany at July as their military plans reveal. After the Winter War germans did think that Soviet Union is an easy match even they have over 2 times more soldiers. Hitler was faster but if Hitler would have used more time against England. Stalin would have attacked on Germany's back.
The guy in the video says: In Fighting Finland the soviet Union lost more than 200,000 to the Finns 25,00. Actually it's very hard to know the russians exact casualties because Soviet Union rewrite the winter war history quickly after the war, beacause they were of the operation Barbarossa. But our schools history books says it was more like 400,000.. Give it a take.
The Britiswh and France didn't aid Finland. The Fins had no choice but to go to Germany for arms to use against the Russian invaders. And the Finns bled the Russians almost dry. If Russia hadn't been 150% more numerous, the Finns would have kicked their asses. As it was, they pounded the USSR mercilessly.
Finland's soldiers saved the Free World during those 105 days, in many different ways. They saved Sweden, too.
It is very important to understand that
the Swedish people were outraged that their naive and cowardly Government would not commit troops to help Finland. ......IF a vote been taken, the Swedish people would have voted overwhelmingly to go to war against the USSR.
Suomi ei voittanut sotaa mutta Suomen sotilaat puolusti Suomen maata rohkeasti ja urheudella. Ei Suomen sotilaat ollut mitään paskahousuja. Esim. Raatteentiellä tapahtuneesta Motti taktiikasta,runsaat sotasaaliit nam nam.
@herocape123 Finland is surely great.But what they dont mention is the Swedish voluenteers.without them Finland would have fall.Long live both Sweden and Finland.Destroyers of the USSR.
@WELOVETOFTING Most of swedish volunteers (from total 8000) didnt even manage to get into the fight before the war ended. if soviets would just have kept going they could have defeated finland whether there were swedish forces or not, just with higher casualties.
im not that familiar with the finnish part of ww2. on which part did they stand? according to the sovjet invasion they couldnt stand on the allied part, but im not sure they stayd quite under the axis forces either..? someone tell me the finnish role during ww2
Russia attacked Finland. After the winter war Finland allied with Germany, just for help with the russians. Finland didnt fight against any other country but the aggressor, russia.
May i correct kaahaajaFIN little bit. During Continuation war (1941-1944) Finland was in war against Soviets and UK (UK and Finland didnt fight against each other and UK was just "helping" Soviets). And after Continuation War we joined allies and started fighting against Germans. That war was called The war of Lapland (1944-1945?) and Finns succesfully pushed their ex-allies, Germans behind their borders. Soon after that allies reached Berlin and WW2 ended.
Finland did wanted to join allies but they didn't have no chance to do so. At the Winter War Finland stopped the war before Soviet Union would have been in war against allied. After the situation was impossible because of Germany. I didn't put details. Ask if you need.
before Winter war Finland had an agreement with Germany to let nazi forces march and attack SU from their territotry, and for this Finland will get soviet part of Karelia.
But their plan failed, and Stalin made right decision to take control positions in Baltics and move borders away from Lelingrad. In 1941 Hanko peninsula had major role, it made available evacuation from Tallinn and made nazi charge on Karelian front much slower
@Scoutrussp7 "before Winter war Finland had an agreement with Germany to let nazi forces march and attack SU from their territotry," What agreement that would have been? Have you ever heard Molotov-Ribbentrop pact? It was agreement between Soviet Union and Germany. It has been the start of WW2. In that pact SU got free hands against Finland, Baltic states and Romania (Bessarabia). What you are telling are not true and not even making much sense. Just let you know.
No before the Winter War Nazi Germany had an agreement with the Soviet Union to let the Red Army march through DEMOCRATIC Finnish territory. Ever hear of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? Didn't go down too well for the Soviets. Finnish soldiers were first class - second to none - but it is ridiculous to think that Finland had the desire or resources to invade and annex part of SU. The Finns lost Karelia and other land but continued and continues to survive. The Soviet Union doesn't. Get over it.
Finland put up a good fight. So good that Roosevelt and Churchill insisted in Teheran (1943) that Finland must remain independent. What came to other Axis nations, they couldn't really care less.
is true what tranmere789 says. Finland was not anlone. Sweden was unofficially on Finlands sides and were aiding the finns with over 8000 soldiers and weponds such amuniton, rifles, tanks, bomb planes, all kinds of war material. as a result of theis the sovjets bombed several Swedish citis to make us back of.
Carrycossy, you're right about the Swedish voluntaries that fought for Finland, and we're very thankful of that! Sweden had to stay officially neutral, it would've been suicide to do otherwise. Finland on the other hand had no choice but to get material from Germany to stand a chance.
The countries that helped and gave material to Finland were: 1st - Sweden. 2nd : Italy. So it's a myth that Finland was left "alone". And i would underestimate the battle ability of Red Army. They fought very hard and not so bad that have later claimed - finns took only little bit more than 5000 POW's. In summer 1941 finns took more than 40 000 POW's. And finns too made some terrible misstakes during Winter War.
Westeners would have fought worse in these conditions than soviet soldiers.
But is it amazing thing that Winter War could have been the most bloodiest war during ww2 before Operation Barbarossa begun? I just check the death numbers of Battle of France and it seems like as much or even more soldiers were killed in Winter War (russian new study with 134 000 death soviet soldiers + little bit over 25 000 finns soldiers killed). But it could be possible that Soviet losses were even bigger but hardly 200 000 death. That number is false.

From that last, "The Swedish Army, which had been downsizing its armed forces since the 1920s, transferred approximately 1/3 of its equipment to Finland among them 135 000 rifles and 330 guns and large quantities of ammunition."
If Sweden "didn't do much" it's because they didn't HAVE much.

Perhaps the Soviet performance in Finland served as a catalyst for Operation Barbarossa, spreading the war onto two fronts for the Germans.....which was ultimately Hitler and the Nazis undoing. It's funny how things work out...
yeoshow 1 year ago 2
@yeoshow Not really, the Winter War was already over when Hitler invaded Poland. The Finns were forced to give the Karelia to Stalin by the Moscow Peace Treaty. Then they joined the Axis when Hitler attacked the USSR.

Ummm, I was always under the impression that the Nazis invaded Poland in Sept 1939. You know, before the the Soviets invaded Finland?
yeoshow 1 year ago
@yeoshow True, sorry for my mistake. But it still didn't spread the German front until June 1941.
deusirae76 1 year ago
@yeoshow But you're right to a certain degree, the Soviets were not prepared for such a harsh conflict and Stalin decimated his own military staff 2 years before. It convinced Hitler to attack the Soviet Union, he thought it was like giving a big kick in a crumbling door, until the winter 1941 came ...

@IsFearrAnStair You mean after the Winter War or WW2? After the Winter War Finland lost Karelia, Salla-Kuusamo, Kalajastajasaarento in Petsamo, outer islands of gulf of Finland and renting Hanko near Helsinki to Soviet Union for 30 years. After the WW2 same as those but also whole Petsamo and istead of Hanko, renting Porkkala for 50 years. Also paying 300 million US gold dollars. Returning all finnish property which has been removing from those lost areas. Etc. Very hard peaces for Finland.

How come they were afraid? They were going to attack against Germany at July as their military plans reveal. After the Winter War germans did think that Soviet Union is an easy match even they have over 2 times more soldiers. Hitler was faster but if Hitler would have used more time against England. Stalin would have attacked on Germany's back.

The guy in the video says: In Fighting Finland the soviet Union lost more than 200,000 to the Finns 25,00. Actually it's very hard to know the russians exact casualties because Soviet Union rewrite the winter war history quickly after the war, beacause they were of the operation Barbarossa. But our schools history books says it was more like 400,000.. Give it a take.

Russia attacked Finland. After the winter war Finland allied with Germany, just for help with the russians. Finland didnt fight against any other country but the aggressor, russia.
kaahaajaFIN 2 years ago 3
@jayti83
May i correct kaahaajaFIN little bit. During Continuation war (1941-1944) Finland was in war against Soviets and UK (UK and Finland didnt fight against each other and UK was just "helping" Soviets). And after Continuation War we joined allies and started fighting against Germans. That war was called The war of Lapland (1944-1945?) and Finns succesfully pushed their ex-allies, Germans behind their borders. Soon after that allies reached Berlin and WW2 ended.

before Winter war Finland had an agreement with Germany to let nazi forces march and attack SU from their territotry, and for this Finland will get soviet part of Karelia.
But their plan failed, and Stalin made right decision to take control positions in Baltics and move borders away from Lelingrad. In 1941 Hanko peninsula had major role, it made available evacuation from Tallinn and made nazi charge on Karelian front much slower

@Scoutrussp7 "before Winter war Finland had an agreement with Germany to let nazi forces march and attack SU from their territotry," What agreement that would have been? Have you ever heard Molotov-Ribbentrop pact? It was agreement between Soviet Union and Germany. It has been the start of WW2. In that pact SU got free hands against Finland, Baltic states and Romania (Bessarabia). What you are telling are not true and not even making much sense. Just let you know.
tupakki 1 year ago 3
No before the Winter War Nazi Germany had an agreement with the Soviet Union to let the Red Army march through DEMOCRATIC Finnish territory. Ever hear of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? Didn't go down too well for the Soviets. Finnish soldiers were first class - second to none - but it is ridiculous to think that Finland had the desire or resources to invade and annex part of SU. The Finns lost Karelia and other land but continued and continues to survive. The Soviet Union doesn't. Get over it.

The countries that helped and gave material to Finland were: 1st - Sweden. 2nd : Italy. So it's a myth that Finland was left "alone". And i would underestimate the battle ability of Red Army. They fought very hard and not so bad that have later claimed - finns took only little bit more than 5000 POW's. In summer 1941 finns took more than 40 000 POW's. And finns too made some terrible misstakes during Winter War.
Westeners would have fought worse in these conditions than soviet soldiers.
tranmere789 2 years ago
But is it amazing thing that Winter War could have been the most bloodiest war during ww2 before Operation Barbarossa begun? I just check the death numbers of Battle of France and it seems like as much or even more soldiers were killed in Winter War (russian new study with 134 000 death soviet soldiers + little bit over 25 000 finns soldiers killed). But it could be possible that Soviet losses were even bigger but hardly 200 000 death. That number is false.
