  1. Finnish battalion (5th SS Panzer Division Wiking) was situated south of Stalingrad. Although in Finland they were scattered, most ended up in Tornio. Detachment Törni was  probably in Medvezhyegorsk, 2000 km northwest.

  2.  @aniksamiurrahman6365  Infantry Regiment 11 landed unopposed at the port of Tornio. Feels like a Garden party compared to Normandy, that's why you've never heard of it. Cold climate though.

  4.  @sylvainprigent6234  That was a real war. Finland's d-day (Battle of Tornio) was a fire brigade and police operation. Maybe "little Christmas" is a better analogy, a traditional party held to anticipate Christmas. https://youtu.be/_E9NU3mclCU

  6. That is a good question. Both sides bombed on neutral countries, but they are safest. Then, the West, Germany, the USSR, Baltic nations and lastly Poland. For a German, likelyhood to survive Stalingrad without being taken as prisoner, is slim to none. Last recorded flight out of the Stalingrad encirclement left the emergency airfield of Stalingradskaya on the morning of 23rd January 1943 with nine wounded soldiers on board.

  7.  @artiombeknazaryan7542  Lauri Pekuri is one of my favorite survivors. He was shot down by a Soviet Hawker Hurricane. Pekuri flew Brewster Buffalo, Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2 and MiG-21, and received training in the Soviet Union. https://youtu.be/fmqhGZnAnRw

  9. 33:33 Von Lenski was formally acknowledged as a "Victim of Fascism" in 1949. That's pretty strong denialism

  10. Is 100th Jäger Division still alive?

  12. Probably happened in 1941. The Nazis caught millions of prisoners. I'm pretty sure you will become a cannibal while under siege. It’s even crazier not to do anything.

  13. However, they could be temporarily in danger of being thrown into the river, making the order logical. Certainly lack of ammunition was by no means unusual. Medical battalion and veterinary department could be without rifles? Finns famously had Italian rifles of the wrong caliber, which they then threw away after obtaining better compatible weapons.

  14. ...and a bunch of Afghans on horseback defeated them in 1989.

  15.  @caryblack5985  Nope. KGB didn't trust the Stasi to operate independently.
