n 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Finland in a conflict known as the Winter War. Despite being vastly outnumbered, the Finnish forces put up a fierce resistance in freezing conditions. Among them was Simo Häyhä, nicknamed “The White Death,” a sniper who reportedly killed hundreds of Russian soldiers with astonishing skill. The war demonstrated Finland’s resilience, tactical ingenuity, and how one extraordinary marksman can influence the course of a battle.

Comedians Robert Bacon, Mike Kauffman, and Bobby Smithney recount the heroics, hardships, and human absurdity of the Winter War. They blend historical detail with humor, exploring how extreme cold, cunning strategy, and remarkable individuals created one of the most unique military conflicts of the 20th century.
