Finnish soldiers with a "Maxim" M/32-33 machine gun in a well set-up position in the the snowed-in forest during the Winter War. The Maxim M/32-33 is a Finnish modification of the Russian M1910 Maxim machine gun. One of the improvements to the M/32-33 was adding a snow filling cap to the water jacket, this way snow could be used instead of water in winter.
