S05E04: Death at -40: The Winter War, USSR vs. Finland - a podcast by Brady J. Crytzer

In the midst of the greatest conflict in world history, the
Soviet Union began to conquer surrounding nations in an attempt to build their
mighty empire. Although some fell without resistance, the Scandinavian country
of Finland valiantly resisted their advances. Fought for only five months, the “Winter
War” between Finland and the USSR saw some of the worst fighting conditions
ever witnessed. Fought in temperatures averaging forty degrees below zero, the
USSR finally invaded its northern neighbor with a fighting force that was three
times larger than the D-Day Invasion three years later. On this episode we
discuss the Winter War.
