When thinking about World War II, it's really easy to focus solely on the fighting in the Atlantic or Pacific theaters. But there were other theaters of war that were just as harsh, and the Finnish warriors of the Winter War prove it. When faced with an overwhelming invasion from the Soviet Union, the Finns stayed and fought to defend their homeland with little more than grit and determination on their side. The Winter War lasted less than a year but resulted in more horrors than other entire regions saw during the duration of WWII. The Finns stopped at nothing to beat their enemies.
