Description

1:72 scale unpainted plastic figures, contains 5 figures in 4 poses and 1 base.

Ski troops played a key role in the successes of the Finnish war effort against the Soviet Union during the Winter War in 1939. Forested, rural terrain with no roads was used by Finnish ski troops with great success against the advancing mechanized Soviet troops. In the Battle of Suomussalmi, two Soviet mechanized divisions (45,000 men) were annihilated by three Finnish regiments (11,000 men). As a result of Finnish successes, the Soviet Union deployed 11 ski battalions, among other troops, in November 1941 to reinforce their defenses in the Battle of Moscow, performing well against the cold, hungry and unprepared German forces approaching Moscow's gates.
