Mannerheim and the Finnish Winter War is one of the lesser known epic battles in WWII. Incredible tale. The Finns are one tough people.

I'm of Finnish ancestry, so those battles are a source of some pride. If you get the chance, read A Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940 by William Trotter. One of the finest military books I've come across.
