Finnish ski troops (Britains)

Ski troops played a key role in the successes of the Finnish war effort against the Soviet Union during the Winter War in 1939 ( 30 November 1939 – 13 March 1940). Forested, rural terrain with no roads was used by Finnish ski troops with great success against the advancing mechanized Soviet troops.
These Britains made soldiers are from the Museu Militar do Porto's collection.
