It is no wonder Russia has concerns about Finland joining nato...
Finland was one of Nazi Germany’s most important allies in the attack on the Soviet Union, allowing German troops to be based in Finland before the attack and joining in the attack on the USSR almost immediately...... The 1947 Paris Peace treaty signed by Finland stated that Finland had been “an ally of Hitlerite Germany” and bore partial responsibility for the conflict.
Didn’t the Finns harry the Germans out of Finland at the end of the war? I’ve seen pictures of signs left by German troops with messages along the lines “thanks a lot, “brothers in arms” my @ss.”
Gee I couldn’t possibly understand why Finland would seek out any help it could get against the Soviet Union. /s
Russia attacked Finland before Finland was an ally of Germany. What did you want Finland to do?
Holy shit Putinist, is there a single country on Earth you think isn't run by Nazis and therefore deserves to be destroyed by righteous KGB officer Vladimir Putin?
That’s a one-sided view of Finland’s participation; they allied with Germany to re-take the territory seized in the Winter War (when the Western ALlies did nothing to help the new country of Finland). When Hitler wanted Finland’s help at Leningrad, they wouldn’t participate.
The USSR understood the difference; at the end of the war Finland was the only European country bordering them that wasn’t occupied/reduced to a Soviet satellite.
