    Default Partly fun stuff, partly serious :)

    Hi guys,

    Today, exactly 70 years ago 30th of November 1939, Soviet Union started what we call The Winter war against Finland (and got their behinds kicked...), I though I share with you what our dear swedish neighbours did at the same time... This mainly amuses my danish friends, but anyway:

    Seriously, if you are interested in WW2 history and how a nation of 4 million in population actually managed to stay unoccupied and prevent a bit larger country succeeding in their mission, here is an interesting link to wikipedia in english:

    ps. In reality, Sweden and several other countries including Denmark, UK and USA sent around 12000 men to help us in which we are still grateful.
