abstract:The Winter War (original title in ) is a 1989 Finnish war film directed by Pekka Parikka, based on The Winter War, a novel by Antti Tuuri. It tells the story of a Finnish infantry regiment "JR 23", which consists almost solely of men from Southern Ostrobothnia, focusing mainly on a platoon of reservists from Kauhava.
And the nuclear-winter hypothesis (that the smoke from fires caused by a global nuclear war would blot out the sun's rays and thus cool the earth catastrophically) owes its origin, at least in part, to observations of a planet-wide dust storm on Mars.
