The Winter War	comment	The Winter War (Finnish: Talvisota) is a Finnish novel by Antti Tuuri, published in 1984. It was directed into a movie in 1989. The novel has been translated into English by Richard Impola.In the novel, Martti Hakala, as an old man, tells his story about participating in the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union 1939-1940, as a Finnish rank-and-file reservist. His assigned infantry regiment, JR 23, first sees action in Taipale, and later in Ã„yrÃ¤pÃ¤Ã¤. The story is fictional, but it is based on diaries and interviews of real veterans and other first-hand sources, and historical persons like the regiment commander Matti Laurila appear in the story.The plot is simply a story of the war, so there is little character building and dramatic arc, but the narrator's own experiences and the anecdotes he shares form a picture of what the Winter War was like for an infantryman on the Karelian Isthmus. The film adds named characters, dialogue, and scenes from the home front to the story.

In the novel, the narrator has to have his hair cut with a knife because it has frozen onto the trench wall while sleeping. Also mentioned is the Finnish propaganda narrative which states that the winter is an ally to the Finns, with an implication that the men on the front might not completely agree.

The whole war on the Finnish part is frankly just a big delaying action, with the hope of some kind of help arriving.

Especially early in the war, they stubbornly attack the same way from day to day, losing hundreds of men and making little or no gains. The Finns experience very much the opposite, often being unable to even rotate their front-line troops to get some rest once in a while. Discussed: The regiment commander Laurila says that the Red Army has men to send, but it takes a long time to change doctrines in a large army. Even if these doctrines originate from completely different conditions than the Finnish front, the front line officers are supposed to follow them rather than improvise.

A group of Russians walk right through the Finnish lines in the dark, thought to be tired and grumpy Finnish combat engineers when they don't answer the password challenge. The narrator thinks the Russians themselves were unaware of what happened and believed the Finns had already withdrawn further. A story is heard about a Finnish pilot who makes a forced landing between the lines and is fired at from both directions, and being wounded and confused, he himself can't tell where the friends are since there's a Swedish-speaking unit on the Finnish side.
