Messages During the War
From November 30, 1939 until March 13, 1940, FInland battled with the Soviet Union over its eastern territories. The Finnish Defence Forces' website has a sample of telegrams sent during the 105-day war. The war messages are drawn from Markku Onttonen's documentary series Talvisodan henki (The Spirit of the Winter War).
