Hello. I am a history student in University of Turku, Finland. I noticed your
inquiry and I found some books, which you might find interesting.
In Winter War there were quite a lot foreign volunteers. Not surprisingly most
of them came from Sweden and they actually got their own front line
responsibility in northern Finland. From US there were at least some hundreds
of volunteers, but I don't know the exact number. Many Finns living in USA came
to Finland to help their native country but most of them came too late to take
part in fighting.
The first of the following books can be quite good source book for you. The
others may also be usefull in your research. Of course, as you can imagine, there
is loads of books concerning Winter War in Finnish language but in English it is
more difficult to find research concerning the topic.
I hope this helps you to proceed,
TR
