Re: Your reference to Finland. I lived there for a year and met a few old timers who lived through that time. Don't give the impression the Finns let the Russians just roll on in. They were outnumbered and outgunned but they fought like mf'ers, used every dirty guerilla trick in the book, starved, froze, and held 'em off as long as they could.
