The Finns lost the winter war, then ate more soviet boot when they fought with the nazis to genocide Leningrad.
Much like Sherman in the South, Stalin didn’t go far enough with the Finns

Do you know anything about this author? All I found is a record of him being banned from lecturing to the British Army in 1944. It’s a classic PR non-answer that drops a hint at larger controversy without any details
Was Major Hooper silenced for contradicting the Winter War narrative? Was he targeted as a communist sympathizer? Seems plausible.
I have no idea to be honest, but yeah trying to find a source on winter war that isnt horribly biased towards the finnish side in the western world is almost impossible. The bourgeoisie of finland first tried to make the civil war the grand achievement of myth building, but it’s harder to hide the facts when you killed your own people. Winter War though, a heroic fight against the asiatic hordes? There’s a certain way that HAS to be displayed, especially after WW2 was close to being over and they were gearing up for the Cold War.
I only found this text by him because it was quoted in this article
