after Germany attack Russia 41 Finland was ally to Germany to take back this area includeing Karelia. Russia lead attack on Finland 44 on Karelia. Finland soon surrender and peace accord are made. Western alliansen attack German army in Lapland moving them to Norway. i didnt know there were german army in Norway in the war.

so,Finland and RUssia fight for land. Russia make navy base in Pirkkala near Helsingfors which they gave back to FInland after accord in 51. is this what you follow here i n Finland and Russia? when Russia and Finland are in war, why do Gen. Mannerheim protect Leningrad from Germany? he have Finland militaire protect Leningard befojr Finland-Russia accord.


i need to b e educate o n the subject. i read the informaton and Russia d o attack Finland. when Finland surrender then RUssia build navy bas det är på vägen till Helsingfors. Finland get some of the land back during accord with Russia. this accord my morfar he say Finland did ally with western alliansen to keep German army from advance t o Leningrad.
Yes, Norway was occupied by Nazi Germany during ww2, Sweden stayed mostly neutral, while Finland had to deal with both the Nazis and the Soviets.

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.
