Svenska Frivilligkåren | Sweden’s Role in the Winter War

When the Soviet Union invaded Finland in 1939, thousands of Swedes—and even Norwegians and Danes—answered the call. This video tells the story of the Swedish Volunteer Corps, their role in the Winter War, and the powerful sense of Nordic brotherhood that drove them to fight in a war that wasn’t theirs. Through frontline stories, air battles, and civilian support, we explore how ordinary people took extraordinary risks—for freedom, for Finland, and for each other.
