Talvistoi

On youtube.com there are several ripped off clips from this Finnish war movie about their Winter War with the Soviets. One with molitov cocktails has the infantry attacking a Russian light tank with a gas bomb. Can anyone explain if those are real or reproduction tanks?

I guess you mean "Talvisota" (Winter War). The tanks used are real, Vickers 6 ton tanks (modified with Soviet 45mm gun) and T-26s.

Thanks for the tip on this movie. It's available on the net as a torrent and well worth the download.

Although the "Winter War" is a very good movie it is still second to "The Unknown Soldier" (Tuntematon Sotilas) 1985 remake (IMO); the 1955 original is also very good.
