Did you not read the OP?

These are really, really good, OP.

And that story gave me a good kek. Mad support and respect for the Finnish in all their battles, always have had it, always will.

God, Finland looks so depressing.

The Finns had more balls and more masculinity compared to the limp wristed diaper wearing effeminate liberals. Yep it's me again, just a reminder that millennials are subhuman

>>3328120

It was extremely significant since the poor performance led to military reforms in Russia which made it possible for them to resist the German invasion a few years later.

>>3335937
Finland won the actual war itself, but lost the political side of war.

>>3335975
I am not Finnish

>>3335975
Actually, Ryti backstabbed Krauts way before Stalin made Finland drive Krauts out of Lapland.

>>3335977
it did not, it was pushed back and lost about 1/3 of its fighting force, which is way higher than the avarage

if you muppets could understand raw numbers doesnt tell anything, thatd be great

>>3335977
getting your defense line penetrated and crying for peace isnt military victory

>>3328142
Ryti is the most underrate finnish president of all time. He played both hitler and stalin at the same time and came out of it with finlands independence secured and a short jailsentence for himself.

>>3336018
"military victory but political defeat" would be something like capturing Leningrad, but being forced to sign white peace"give Karelia to SU, which couldnt happen.

>>3335977
If anything its the other way around
By the time the cease fire came around, Finland was pretty much finished.
However the war was a massive political embarasment for Stalin.
Finland also managed to remain a democratic country while the other countries near the USSR fell to communism, so in that way it was definitely a political victory

Into the trash it goes

It's a shame that they didn't and are not planning to digitize the Independence war era (including the Viena and Aunus expeditions) negatives.

Anyone having read major works about the Winter and Continuation war are familiar with large amount of these photos already, especially with the Winter war photos.

>>3341852
Any way of seeing the pictures anywhere?

>>3341869
You mean the 1918 pictures? Yes, in the same FDF archives where these 1939-1944 negatives originated.
They are available for public, at least periodically.
