Re: Simo Häyä
The best book about him is "Simo Häyhä - Valkoinen kuolema" ( Simo Häyhä - White Death in english, I don't know if that book has ever translated in english). Book is very authentic and based on interviews of him. He was quite modest person itself so he wasn't able to tell exactly how many ...

Fishing was very common hobby during the wartime. Though there weren't herrings in Karelia's fresh waters. The most common fish in Finnish lakes is European perch (ahven, in Finnish).

Re: Finnish Army Rations
For the main infantry, Finnish supply wasn't based on rations like in US and British (?) army. Supply groups kept men satisfied with their field kitchens. Rations were mostly for the patrolmen and LRRP's (in Finnish Kaukopartio ). These rations were "special meals" and included things such...
