Soviet prisoners of war in Finland during World War II were captured in two Soviet-Finnish conflicts of that period: the Winter War and the Continuation War.[1]: 53–59  The Finns took about 5,700 POWs during the Winter War, and due to the short length of the war they survived relatively well.[2] However, during the Continuation War the Finns took 64,000 POWs, of whom almost 30 percent died.[3][Notes 1]
