Soviet prisoners of war in Finland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soviet prisoners of war in Finland during World War II were captured in two Soviet-Finnish conflicts of that period: the Winter War and the Continuation War. The Finns took about 5,700 POWs during the Winter War, and due to the short length of the war they survived relatively well.[1] However, during the Continuation War the Finns took 64,000 POWs, of whom almost 30 percent died.[2][Notes 1]
