The Russian summer offensive in 1944 was actually coordinated with D-Day. So, Finland were the bad guys....lol :biggrin: Britain declared war on Finland in 1941. LOL

The Finns got the Nazi military and food aid resumed pursuant to the Ryti-Ribbentropp Agreement in June 1944.

Without Nazi anti-tank weapons and air forces, the Finns may not have made out so well.

And, didn't the Finns actually lose territory in the Winter War? Then sought Nazi help in the Continuation War?
