@slideshowhistorian: Napoleon marched into Russia with around 600,000 men and fewer than 100,000 made it back out. At Sarikamis, an estimated 25,000 Ottoman soldiers froze to death before the battle even started. At Suomussalmi, Finnish ski troops and minus 40 degrees wiped out an entire Soviet division. In 1719, about 3,000 Swedish soldiers froze on a single mountain plateau. And in 1902, a Japanese training march lost 199 of its 210 men without ever seeing an enemy. Which army had it worst? #History #militaryhistory #winterwar #napoleon #ww1
