October, 1939, the Finnish delegation listened to Comrade Stalin's ultimatum that Finland give in to Soviet demands for their territory. Attempts on Finland's part to reach a compromise were refused. On November 30, without a declaration of war, the Soviet Union invaded Finland and thus began the Winter War.
In this historical recreation of that war, Finland's small but effective army faces the Soviet giant.
