Hello
I happened to be a rather cynical person but my point is that to many Finns the Winter War was really a question of life and death. It's maybe difficult to understand nowadays but probably the destiny would have harsh to many Finns if Finns had been really defeated, same as to the Balts and to those Polish officers who fell to the hands of the Red Army in 39. They were not so priviledged than we, who can argue on nyances.
I'd like to answer to Your questions but for a proper answer I'd need time to think it out and some rereading and sorry, I don't have now that time.
Sorry about the cynical reply but Your post wasn't so far away from a statement to a Dutch Jew like "Why it was so important that Your granpa got out of Holland in last minute in 40".
Juha
