    “Finland then turned to Nazi Germany for military aid. As the German offensive against the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) approached, the cooperation between the two countries intensified. German troops arrived in Finland and took up positions, mostly in Lapland, from where they would invade the Soviet Union.”

    Nice try Nazi

      Sure thing, tankie. If calling out the USSR makes me a Nazi then dress me in jackpots and Hugo Boss clothes I guess, despite being first generation Chinese in the US.

        Why did he talk about Finland anyway? You didn’t mention Finland, unless I missed something.

        Second, he didn’t include a timeline of Finland:

        -August 1939: Russia becomes allies with the Nazis

        -November 1939: the Nazi ally, Russia invaded Finland.

        -June 1941: Finland joined the Nazis in betraying and attacking the Nazis’ ally, Russia. So, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

        Tldr: Russia joined the Nazis of their own free will. Finland joined trying to repel an invasion.
