A couple of mind-staggering casualty numbers concerning that war-as metioned on the Stalin behind closed doors doc.

Estimated Russian losses were appx 1 million. Estimated Finnish losses at appx 50,000. If my math isn't as bad as it was in school-that's 20-to-1!! Pretty darn good for a tiny nation being bullied by a huge one. I've always had and always will have-vast amounts of respect for the Finns.
Try this link:

Online Bookshelves - Out of Print Section

It is a beginning. Eventually, all the topics should be available.

I also have the book: "German Small unit actions on the Eastern Front" that is also available in digits (5 parts at 6Mbs each) at another US Army site.
