Fought to a draw is more accurate. That is still impressive for a nation whose entire population wasn't much larger than the invading army.
There were at least two Soviet divisions that were totally annihilated, not ruined as combat units but no one but a few POWs and even fewer evaders left alive. The Germans would not have had nearly as hard a time of it invading USSR if the Finns hadn't taught Ivan how to make General Winter an ally.
The molotov cocktail was centuries old by then, but was given the name we still know it by at that time.
“Fought to a draw is more accurate.”
- Nope. Finland won a war against the Soviet Union in the beginning of the WWII.
Later on, Finland got trifle too cocky and was forced back when on the advance. This caused a second treaty, resulting in loss of land.
