The Last Horse Warriors

http://historynet.com/wwii/blhorsewarriors/index1.html

By Albano Castelletto, translated by Philip Monteleoni

THE FIRST WINTER CAMPAIGN

Winter was now at our doorstep, and it started to snow. Once during our stay in Yassinovatoye, where there was a railroad station, we were fairly astounded by the behavior of a contingent of Finnish volunteers. As soon as they arrived, they jumped down from the rail cars, took off all their clothes and began to roll around in the snow. We Italians were already well bundled up because the temperature was below freezing!

Yes, I think thatīs us....
