Rovaniemi, Finland is known worldwide as Santa Claus’s official hometown, attracting over a million visitors every year. But behind the Christmas lights, reindeer rides, and festive magic lies a dark and largely forgotten history.

During World War II, Rovaniemi was almost completely destroyed by retreating German troops under a scorched-earth policy. Homes, schools, and entire neighborhoods were burned to the ground, leaving the town in ruins.

After the war, Rovaniemi made an extraordinary decision — to reinvent itself. From ashes and destruction, it transformed into the Christmas capital of Europe by branding itself as the home of Santa Claus.

This video uncovers:
• How WWII destroyed Rovaniemi
• Why the town was rebuilt in the shape of a reindeer
• How Santa Claus became part of a post-war survival strategy
• The hidden history behind today’s Christmas tourism
