"They found Soviet soldiers huddled around fires in -40° weather easy prey to sub-machine gun fire and grenades. Almost any wound was fatal."

In really cold weather a wound is nearly always curtains unless you can get to shelter. Notice the Finns had one part dead and two parts wounded amongst their casualties.

I think we can all agree that Marshal Mannerheim was a man of the Right. Notice the difference between Mannerheim and Josef Stalin, a man of the Left, and a Red. Mannerheim took care of his troops, and to the best of his ability never wasted them. Look at Stalin. Look at Adolf Hitler, Brown on the outside and Red on the inside. Those two wasted their men as if they were nothing, and they were nothing to Stalin and Hitler.

Never forgive, never forget.

Most dictators care only about retaining power and are willing to slaughter millions, even their own countrymen to retain it.
