The Winter War: Finland vs. Soviet Union - David Versus Goliath in the Snow.

In the frozen forests of Finland, one of the most remarkable underdog battles in modern history took place. The Winter War (1939–1940) saw Finland, a small nation with limited resources, take on the overwhelming might of the Soviet Union. What followed was a brutal campaign of ambushes, resilience, and guerrilla tactics in subzero temperatures. This is the story of a true David vs. Goliath conflict—fought on skis, in snow, and against impossible odds.

❄️ Did you know? Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä, known as "The White Death," reportedly had over 500 confirmed kills—without a scope.
