The Finns<br /> actually won WW II for us, as their northern victory gave Hitler funny ideas on the Soviets.<br /><br />Had Adolf studied the winter war instead of following his wishful thinking, he would have seen<br /> that if the Finns had won in the north, they actually lost very badly in the south of Finland,<br /> in conditions similar to what prevailed on the Eastern Front.<br /><br />When Hitler came to Finland to beg Mannerhein to join in the war, the Finn wisely refused,<br />knowing by experience that Stalin's hordes were unbeatable.Wabanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437195079842037921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-16788655518509828612015-05-02T20:57:04.677-04:002015-05-02T20:57:04.677-04:00It's a pity Winter War isn't a better film...It's a pity Winter War isn't a better film. It was an important event in history. The USSR invaded Finland, and the Finns held out for some time. The Soviet troops were poorly lead because of recent purges, but political commissars made them press forward despite getting machine gunned in huge numbers. Some Finn machine gunners even had a physical reaction to the carnage they were dishing out, and had to be relieved.<br /><br />The Finnish Air Force ran up really awesome numbers of kills on Soviet aircraft. The Finns liked the US built Brewster F2A Buffalo, which was perhaps their most successful fighter. We used it a little too, with other results. A squadron, based on Midway, fought one battle during the battle of Midway. Not one Buffalo returned.Skoonjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745308345698069412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-21205186142507112162015-05-02T10:22:38.575-04:002015-05-02T10:22:38.575-04:00I was among the earliest Poo-Pourri buyers and tha...I was among the earliest Poo-Pourri buyers and that's why my s**t don't stink.
