    That’s not Winter War, that’s Continuation War. Simo Häyhä didn’t fight in Continuation War. As for war aims during Continuation War, the answer is obvious, to defeat USSR. It’s like asking why Germany bombed the UK.

      He wanted to fight in the Continuation War, he was barred entry to the army.

      Also the Continuation War began in 1944. Those things I mentioned happened in 1941, during Operation Barbarossa. Finland was an ally of Nazi Germany.

        Yes

        No, Continuation War happened 1941-44. You’re thinking of Lapland War now. That’s 1944-45.
