One of the most overlooked war stories of all time.
BTW, if you need to know anything about any wars feel free to ask me. Military history is a hobby of mine.
Well, not that overlooked in Sweden. But really, The Winter War. The Soviet forces had three times as many soldiers as the Finns, 30 times as many aircraft, and a hundred times as many tanks. Still, they only got 11% of Finland when they were trying to conquer the entire country. That is impressive.
I also today learned that Sweden in the late 1950s had the fourth largest air force in the world.
