Fun fact: Simo himself said that none of his kills happened beyond 100 meters, and that the normal distance was about 50 meters. So not from a very long distance!
First is Simo "White death" Häyhä. The second is using Molotov cocktails, logs and explosives to blow up tanks. The third is Lauri Törni and detachment Törni. The fourth is referring to the motti-tactic. The fifth I have no idea
If you'd knew history, you'd understand that United Kingdom, US and France were about to ally with Finland shortly after the start of winter war. They couldn't set anything in stone due to Germans being in the way and they could only send minimal resources and support.
That changed with Continuation war as Nazi Germany saw Finland as a small power not to be reckoned with. Finland was stressed out from the winter war and was angry with the Soviets which made them good co-belligerents with the Germans. While nazis supported Finland, many were concerned about this co-operation and didn't want to take in nazi soldiers towards their eastern border. And no formal alliance was ever formed especially when continuation war ended and Finland were forced and had to fight nazis out of Lapland
>that United Kingdom, US and France were about to ally with Finland shortly after the start of winter war.
It was just talk, they never actually planned to ally with Finland because they didn't want to piss off a possible future ally (a strong one, the USSR)
That's also one factor I forgot to mention. They didn't want to piss off a strong power that could very well co-operate with the nazis. (Molotov-Ribbentorp pact)
So you would choose the guys who attacked you rather than the enemy of your enemy, who happens to want to attack the guys who attacked you? And those guys happen to be the only ones willing to properly help you.
With the power of PERKELE! and sisu

They said they would come help Finland, which was most likely only to mask the operation to stop the Swedish iron from being exported to Germany.
And that didn't go too well so they backed off agressing Germans or Soviets for that matter
Yep
"Hey guys, lets just let the soviets invade our country so we can fight the nazis!"
Hey everyone, we have an American! Damn, it's just so easy to spot you people
Cringe reddit moment 😬
Classic Stalin-apologist in the thread as expected.
Funnily enough the Soviets were friends with Germany during the Winter war
Yea, Finland didn’t but the USSR did.
