5 Facts About World War 2 Part 1 (THE FINNS)
5 History Facts about The Mighty Finns in the World War 2 #history #ww2 #facts
The Mainila Shots, an artillery bombardment of the Finnish village of Mainila on November 26, 1939, by the Soviet Union, was the spark that ignited the Winter War. In response to this aggression, Finland defended its sovereignty, embarking on a determined struggle against the Soviet Red Army. Despite being outnumbered, the Finnish forces' resilience during the Winter War became a symbol of their commitment to preserving their independence.
Facts:
1.
The Soviet Union used the Mainila Shots incident as a Casus Belli to justify its invasion to Finland in 1939.
2.
The Winter War, which resulted from the Mainila incident, lasted for one hundred five days.
Finland had 350 000 soldiers against one million Soviet troops.
3.
During the Winter War, the Finnish casualties were approximately 20,000, while Soviet losses ranged from 200,000 to 250,000. That’s why there is a saying “one Finn equals 10 Russians”.
4.
Almost every Finnish company had a sauna at the front line, and it was used every day.
5.
Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä, known to the Soviets as "the White Death," killed 542 enemies in 3 months. He didn't use a scope in order to avoid revealing his position to the enemy.
