The Death Volunteers
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and powerful colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame that depicts the intense struggle between Finnish volunteers and Russian forces during the Winter War. In this chaotic battle scene, groups of brave skiers armed with bombs and dynamite charges plunge fearlessly into the enemy's rear, setting fire to shacks and destroying depots. The image showcases the determination and resourcefulness of these Finnish fighters as they fight against overwhelming odds. The print captures the harsh winter conditions of Scandinavia, with snow falling heavily in the background. Flames engulf buildings, creating an atmosphere of chaos and destruction. The wreckage left behind serves as a testament to the fierce clashes that took place on this war-torn landscape. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday in January 1940 provides a glimpse into one aspect of World War II that often goes unnoticed - the struggles faced by smaller nations like Finland against larger aggressors. It highlights how ordinary individuals volunteered to defend their homeland against invading forces. This artwork not only commemorates a significant historical event but also pays tribute to those who fought bravely during this tumultuous period. Through its vivid depiction of conflict, "The Death Volunteers" reminds us of both the horrors and heroism witnessed during times of war.
