For all of you haters, Finland didn't "team-up" with the Axis, they simply had a common enemy (Soviet).

This i say as a Swede, stop hating on my neighbours.

The finns fended of themselfs against an enemy x100 their size.

I'd like to see another country in the world do that (does vietnam ring a bell, America?).

Love, Sweden.

@MARRECOS60 Finland is badass! They kicked the hell out of your commie friends!

@dancinkindofguy I remember reading about this dilemma somewhere. If I remember correctly the western allies did NOT want to get involved at all and it was a diplomatic nightmare to still remain in good terms with both Finland and USSR. Nobody wanted a war with the USSR, only Germany's leadership was crazy enough to do so.

@LedZe93 Keskitysleirit...kyllä, mitä siviileille olisi sitten pitänyt tehdä, tappaa? Surkeiden olojen perustana on vuosien 1941-42 nälänhätä. Kyllä omat nyt ensinsijaisesti ruokitaan, mikä tahansa valtio olisi tehnyt saman. Mannerheim suojeli kansaansa, ja Hitler oli ainoa vaihtoehto mistä apua sai. Luettele nyt ne rikokset?

Suomi on edelleen maa joka ei ole tunnustanut tai pyytänyt anteeksi sotarikoksiaan II mmsa. Moniko on täällä kuullut Karjalaan perustetuista keskitysleireistä joihin ahdettiin karjalan alkuperäinen väestö? Tai vankileirien surkeista oloista? Mannerheim oli Hitlerin kätyri, mutta kiitos hänelle ettei hyökännyt Leningradiin, sillä olisi voinut Venäläisilläkin olla haluja tulla Helsinkiin. Puna-armeija tuhosi Saksan armeijan mutta ei pärjännyt pienelle Suomen armeijalle? Taisi olla kiire Berliiniin

@kahjotyyppi HEI POJAT!TÄÄ JÄTKÄ ON SUOMESTA!

-_- Meitä kiinostaa.

During the Winter War the British and French were getting ready to come to the aid of the Finns but the war ended before they could do so. What an interesting scenario that would have provided. If the Brits & French had done it in time they would have been at war against Germany AND the USSR. Would the Soviets have been attacking the Allies in France alongside the Germans in 1940, or would the Western Allies have made a deal with Hitler to turn on the Soviets then. A big what if in history.

Finland didn't have any chance! Germany was only one who became to help! Soviet Union sucks so it's better to be friends with Germany like we always are!!!!

[SuperSonicRULAA]

@russfromdodge what else we could do

surrender to soviet union and have our people slaved and putted in siberia

[JTHEMAN93]

@MrSlipperyfish In finland is only Defending Forces, we dont invade anybody, we just wanna keep out country peacefull and not starting a war. So... for us, its just self-defence.
