Winter Warfare in Finland

This card shows a picture of a pair of Finnish soldiers at a Winter Training Camp in North Lappland.  Forget about training or actual operations, even living and existing in those sub-zero temperatures must be an extreme ordeal. But, military history books are replete with the glorious exploits of the outnumbered Finnish soldier on skis against heavy odds. And in most cases the soldiers fighting the Finns had a bloody nose. Margaretha sent me this card. The picture on it was taken by her son who is in the Finnish Army.
