Red army winter camouflage Ww2

"Winter is coming" is the motto of the House Stark, one of the protagonist of "The game of thrones" ... a tv series and a saga of books that is very famous in this period. 

I think that my club friends were ispired by this sentence when they decided to prepare red army winter camouflage considering that today, at my home, temperature was 35 °C.

Soviet army used mainly this camouflage during the "Winter war",  a conflict between the Soviet Union and Finland fought between 1939 and 1940. The background of the war included ice lakes, dark forests and rigid temperatures (−43 °C (−45 °F) on 16 January 1940).

The war was won by Soviet army but only after a long and brave resistence of Finnish troops.
