Do you have any recommendations for sources on the winter war. Wikipedia lists the casualty ratio at ~1:5 in Finland’s favor, and ofc they include sick and frostbitten amongst the soviet losses and don’t appear to for the Finns.
Yeah, I would also be interested. I was speaking to someone recently who was saying the Soviet Army was so poorly prepared without skis and white camo that they were just laughably destroyed by Finland.
I found War and Peace in Finland but it seems dated and I also haven’t read through it, honestly.

wrote up some stuff in https://hexbear.net/comment/4872372, no modern literature in english atleast, sorry about that.
You’re going to want the Finnish Civil War: History, Memory, Legacy. It goes into great detail about the fascist revisionist historiography.
Thanks, babe.
