Kanske din morfar is correct. Finland's ww2 history is complicated.. that they managed to avoid outright occupation by either Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia is pretty impressive. The military history of Finland during World War II covers the history of Finland from 1939 to 1945. Finland fought three wars: the Winter War alone against the Soviet Union, the Continuation War with Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union, and the Lapland War against Germany. In the end, Finland managed to defend its independence and democratic constitution but had to cede nearly 10% of its territory, including its second largest city, Viipuri, to the USSR. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militar...g_World_War_II Odin, you can also try these older PF threads. Sporklord is smart, well.. for a Suomi anyway. He knows his own country's history. "Anti-Russian sentiment runs very strong in Finland" Finally Done! Perspectives on WWII I have another question about
