Russian against Finn: 56 minute color film documents a subject rarely covered in the United States: the Russo-Finnish War of 1939-40. While not immediately about Germany, per se, the Soviets' poor performance in the Winter War led Hitler to call for the plans to invade Russia the following year, and thus had tremendous influence on the history of Europe and the world as a whole. This film documents not only the events of that fateful winter, but has wonderful re-enactment by Finns and Russians. Very interesting. Excellent quality. Mostly in English, but there is some Finnish and Russian with English subtitles;
The DVD concludes with another 8 minute cartoon.
