A proposito di questo titolo

In November 1939, just months after signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Joseph Stalin launched a brutal invasion of Finland, expecting a quick victory. Instead, the Red Army suffered staggering losses against a smaller, determined Finnish force that used guerrilla tactics and the harsh winter to its advantage. This episode tells the story of the Winter War: the diplomatic provocations, the shocking defeats at Suomussalmi and the Mannerheim Line, the rise of Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä, and the eventual Soviet victory that came at a terrible cost. We also explore how the war exposed Soviet military weaknesses to Hitler, influencing his decision to launch Operation Barbarossa in 1941. Lucas and Luna discuss the legacy of the war for both Finland and the Soviet Union, including Finland's determined defense of its independence and the Red Army's painful but necessary reforms.
