'Ski Patrol' is a 1940 American war film directed by Lew Landers, produced by Ben Pivar and Warren Douglas and released by Universal Pictures. It is known to be the only Hollywood film about the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union.[https://www.rarefilmsandmore.com/ski-patrol-1940-resisting-enemy-interrogation-1944#.X0aCGX5S_RY SKI PATROL (1940) + RESISTING ENEMY INTERROGATION (1944) - RareFilmsAndMore.com]

Two rival skiers competing in the 1936 Olympics, one Russian and one Finn, are pitted against each other just a few years later, as the Russians attack the Finnish border in the Winter War, and the Finnish heroes defend a snow-laden mountain pass. The plot takes great historical liberties in its storyline. E.g. all "Finnish" uniforms and insignias are wrong.
