Before television, getting the news meant reading a newspaper or watching a newsreel at the movie theater.  Pathé News was the United Kingdom’s newsreel producer.  As I was looking for other things I found thirteen newsreels from their archive of the Winter War. Each one is one to two minutes in length.  I thought I’d share what I found.
