On paper The Soviet Army should have rolled over Finland in about a week or two. I have a few Sako mosin nagants and I’m sure you can guess where they originated.

The Finns did such a good job of fighting back they convinced Hitler that the Soviets were a rotten structure just waiting for him to cave it in. Can you imagine how horrible the world would be today if the Soviet-Nazi alliance had held together?
