Well, Finnish politicians did quite good if we don’t mention those who before 1939 did their best to not buy anything to Finnish Defence Forces. I wish dearly those politicians would had been sent to the front line. To the front line in…to face the execution squad :D
However, Finland would of course wanted to stay neutral in WW2, like Sweden did. There was absolutely no point in declaring war to Allied nations. Even an idiot would had understood that.
Anyway, Germany gave Finland arms and troops in critical moments 1944 to stop Russians. I bet Germans did not have too much themselves. And what the Finns did? Threw Germans out of Finland and made peace with Russia. I am not too proud of that, though.
I am curious to know why they chose that Eastern Europe was to belong to Russia. How did Russia manage to negotiate that?
