In contrast to the usual shortages in the Red Army, soldiers received regular issues of winter clothing, as their combat effectiveness could be hampered in cold conditions otherwise. The Wehrmacht also regularly made use of captured Red Army winter uniforms, often taking them from the deceased, due to the ineffectiveness of their own winter uniforms. Similarly in the Winter War, due to a poor preparation and lack of materiel, some Finnish mobilized reserves were given a utility belt and an emblem to be attached to the hat, facetiously "malli Cajander" (model Cajander), and a rifle. Otherwise, they had to use their own clothes and equipment.
