    There’s tons of wehraboos in Poland and that usually include FInland too “Hayha killed 500 Russians singlehandedly” compiled with “Finland totally shows those commie cockroaches their place” etc. they love when someone kill Soviets and Russians so they always take the asspulled numbers like gospel.

      Ah. Partly that might be because Winter War and Finland’s WW2 history is in that spot where people know a few (often exaggerated) tidbits that make them feel knowledgeable about it but not enough to really know stuff. In that context believing the 700 noscope 360’s seems more reasonable. Hearing someone outside of Finland talk about Finland’s history during WW2 is one of those cases where you’re sure to hear a mistake or two. Hell, you can see it here in the comments. But a lot of it is imo pretty understandable.
