I was once told that the Soviets were so badly prepared they wore brown uniforms in the snow so the Finish easily picked them off from a distance and they didn't even have any snow-appropriate shoes or skis for mobility.
You don't have to be an historian or even research the subject to realize it sounds like total bullshit to argue that the Soviets—a people famous for living in and historically using snow to their military advantage—were somehow unprepared for snow. (Rad)Libs are some of the dumbest and smugest people in the world.
the chuds exaggerate it but the winter war was mishandled and conducted in an ineffective way, that had something to do with not accounting for the weather.
