“To be sure, the Finnish soldier was aware of the numerical odds against him, but he rendered those odds less terrible by cracking jokes about them: “They are so many, and our country is so small, where will we find room to bury them all?”
― William R. Trotter, A Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940

“Stalin was especially furious with the "Leningrad Clique" of Zhdanov, who had assured him that the Finnish war would amount to little more than a police action, a nuisance that could be concluded in two weeks.”
― William R. Trotter, A Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940
