Fantastic find.I wish I had the time to watch it all right now. Great shots of many aircraft during the Winter and Continuation war.

Always a theater that fascinated me, tho Ive always needed to get up to speed on it. I was at Barnes and Noble the other day and couldnt find any books on it. Great shots of Blennies, DBs, twittlers, SBs, Brewsters...ect.

The Finns were in an impossible situation. They were, and are, an honorable people. Proven by their protection of their Jews during the war and their refusal to get involved in atrocities even when events forced them into an alliance with Germany. But it was their stand against a vastly larger force that makes it such a historically significant chapter. I'll watch the rest of this when I get home today. :salute
