During the Winter War between Finland and Stalin’s Soviet Union in 1939 Russian forces earned a pyrrhic victory that cost Russia 321,000–381,000 total casualties. 

Finland lost 70,000 total casualties.

Find the Finnish snipers:

One day Soviets heard a man shouting from the nearby woods “One Finnish soldier is better than 10 Soviets!” Annoyed, they sent a squad of 10 soldiers to deal with this man. Shots are heard, then silence. Suddenly, they hear again “One Finnish soldier is better than 50 Soviets!”.

Getting angry, they now send in 50 soldiers. Again shooting, screaming, then silence. The unseen man shouts again “One Finnish soldier is better than 100 Soviets!”.

Really angry now, the Soviets now send 100 soldiers. Shooting, screaming, silence. But this time, one survivor returns. He reports to his commanding officer and begs him “Please Comrade, don’t send any more men. It’s a trap! There are actually two of them!”-Unknown author
