  1. Germany is located in Western Europe, so culturally close to Italy. The First Reich was The Holy Roman Empire. They borrowed heavily from Latin. Latin was the language of the universities in Germany and the rest of Europe.

  2. In addition, only after the ascent of Mikhail Gorbachev to Soviet leadership in 1985 did mass media in Finland gradually begin to criticise the Soviet Union. Not to mention full communism in East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia,  Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Albania. Communists are hated for their actions, it's not Nazi propaganda. Joseph Goebbels did not survive the war.

  3. Read about Naturalization in Vietnam or any Asian country. They take these things seriously. "Persons applying for naturalization must have Vietnamese names." "Obeying the Constitution and laws of Vietnam; respecting the traditions, customs and practices of the Vietnamese nation." "Applicants for naturalization must be able to listen, speak, read and write in Vietnamese in accordance with the living and working environment."

  4. I agree with libertarian economic effects, but I see it as a political utopia in Europe. I have no problem with any political ideology between the original Mensheviks and the so-called National Progressives. In the area of ​​history, I endorse Pat Buchanan's works.

  6. Nowadays everyone seems to have the same helmets. The Finnish army used a traditional uniform until the late 1960s, except for more submachine (Suomi KP/-31) guns. https://youtu.be/-fZ-u6F6nAc

  10. I think Hitler was quite brutal, almost like a Civil War leader. But I am confused by the use of word "president" in Hitler's will. He was generally known as just "der Führer". Did Dönitz forge it or why such a democratic term?

  11. Crazy that July is named in honor of Gaius Julius Caesar. In Finnish, it is literally hay-moon, because it is not an Indo-European language.

  12.  @georgepress1261  Revised version of the Erfurt Program, adopted by the Social Democratic Party of Germany during the SPD Congress at Erfurt in 1891. The Forssa Program is a political declaration issued by the Labour Party of Finland at its party convention in Forssa, Finland (Russia) in August 1903.

  17.  Blesava Konjina  "They have utterly lost the Anglo-Saxon conception of justice and feel that a man can be kicked out because somebody else says he is a Nazi. They were evidently quite shocked when I told them I would kick nobody out without the successful proof of guilt before a court of law"

  18. I'm not a big fan. I'm on the center right. France basically has a Nordic model, which is unnecessarily bloated and bureaucratic.

  19. Dutch enthusiasm for NATO is lower than that of Germany. Makes me wonder. Maybe there was something fishy about that hunger story.

  20. @Matricx700 "...conservative bourgeois elements chose Hitler. So did I, and I would do it again if a choice between Communism and Nazism arose." Karl Dönitz, May 2, 1946 Neo-Nazism opposes foreign lower class, refugees, etc.

  23.  @harshbansal7982  In the case of Finland, political situation after the war of 1940 was similar to that of Austria in 1945. You could vote for Jesus, but it won't bring you more butter on rye bread.

  24. I don't think so. Largest in Finland.

  25. I'm not a conservative 😉, but I vote Christian II of Denmark. He was the last Catholic king of Finland. I wuz Russian, though

  27.  @PMaximov  Finland was not yet fully industrialized, meaning that the Soviet Union won mostly collective farms and cow manure. Someone could claim that Finland won the "Great Patriotic War". Most of the army came home to rest and received a dose of state cognac in the fall of 1944, and celebrated Christmas at home. Meanwhile, the Soviets were fighting their way to Berlin. https://images.app.goo.gl/GotSsbPaFZ6zbTja6

  28.  @pehmomarsu  Keep in mind that Sixty-two percent of the Japanese Americans were United States citizens. Unlike in the Japanese Americans, Russians and Jews in Finland were not incarcerated during WW2. Jewish mortality rate was actually lower than the rest of the population. During the Russian Revolution many aristocrats and officers fled to Finland as refugees. The biggest refugee wave was in 1922 when about 33,500 people came to Finland. It's true that the treatment of Soviet citizens was not appropriate, but some lucky Soviet Russian POWs were treated as family members since 1942. Eventually, because of the War in Lapland, Finnish Christians were the largest group of Finns in the nazi concentration camps.

  29.  @adaw2d3222  If it walks like NATO, etc? Well, legal status is a bit more complicated, but I understand what you mean.

  30.  @lteagle101  Key differences between Finland and Germany: 1. The United States only severed diplomatic relations with Finland in 1944. They can never be counted as Allies. 2. Finland didn't ratify the Geneva Convention relative to the treatment of POWs. 3. Although decentralized organizational structure had a great deal of flexibility, only Mannerheim would possess the authority to lead the country from war to peace.

  31.  @ПалПалыч-щ1о "omg what does the 'Continuation war' means?" Such a definition means that South Karelia was important to the 410,000 people who were evicted from their homes by the Soviets. Today Vyborg District is no longer a prosperous region.

  33.  @lotus95t  To my understanding, the Germans destroyed more than they initially calculated (248/240). According to the Germans, 60 divisions would remain, but the Soviet Union had 100 extra divisions of its own, and another 60 divisions thanks to lend-lease. It's not possible to destroy 220 Soviet divisions without unconventional warfare.

  34. That's what I thought. In Finland we still say, Four Second (teen) = neljätoista = 14

  35.  @Seven_FM  Well that escalated quickly. LOL Hubert "The Black Eagle" Julian was also there. He was a Trinidad-born aviation pioneer. Germany did not take part in the war, but on the contrary it prevented the transportation of arms and volunteers. In a way, you were right that the 44th Kievan Rifle Division went to heaven. According to the Protestant belief, there is no hell.

  36. 10:25 Hitler didn't shoot him. Wilhelm II died of a blood clot caused by smoking at the age of 82. Just like saying that Churchill was 100% anti-Stalinist in 1942. Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich of Russia survived detention, in Germany. Vladimir was more afraid of hanging by the Allies, so he didn't support Germany.

  37. Yeah, right. I don't understand much of what even Estonians are talking about. There are also Finno-Ugric people in Saransk, 650km southeast of Moscow. "The fighting continues, and if we believe in the Enlightenment officers, we will not stop until Moscow belongs to Western Finland. But first, we take control of an important crossroads of Tsopina." -Nikke Pärmi Tšobino is a tiny village located on the Northern shore of Ääninen

  38. @Assismus Just like Germany occupied Austria 1938-45. Tiilikkajärvi was part of Russia over 400 years. So what. I see Russian speakers every day and I don't care if they are Ukrainian. If they are Russian, people's will is decisive, as in 1776.

  39. The female historian defines prostitution as rape. In other words, millions of rapes happen every day, making the Wehrmacht look like doves.

  40. I would have phrased that differently because we are talking about 1946. Certainly better to be in Hesse than in Moldova

  42.  @olliephelan  Trump was right to ask who were the good guys. British failed to secure the control of Petrograd by White Russian forces, which was one of the main goals of the Baltic campaign in 1918.

  43. Sweden was quite clearly neutral. General A.F Airo knew this and asked the Soviet Union to put pressure on Sweden, but they did not take it seriously.

  45.  @TheImperatorKnight  Eisenhower also acknowledged this fact. Currently, 2.8 million refugees from Ukraine to the EU. Some conspiracy theorist might think Putin is trying to make Europe white again.

  46.  @Paciat  "Did even one South African..." Indeed, there was a significant minority actively opposed to the war and under these conditions conscription was never an option, but one should research the family background of a pilot to know for sure. For example, Lauri Pekuri managed to down two Soviet Hawker Hurricanes, but his Brewster Buffalo (BW-372) was also hit and he was forced to make an emergency landing on a lake. In addition, airplanes cannot operate without a significant number of airport personnel. In all, around 550 RAF air and ground crew made the airfield at Vaenga their home. Wing Commander was a New Zealand born RAF test pilot: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._151_Wing_RAF "Czechoslovakia" The result was 41 years of one-party rule in Czechoslovakia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovak_invasion_of_Poland As for the case of Sweden, it was Napoleon who split the kingdom into two parts. Rüdiger von der Goltz reunited Finland to the west in 1918, though no longer to Sweden.

  47.  @Paciat  By this criteria, Nelson Mandela was a Nazi fanboy who stayed home to knit mittens instead of fighting.

  48. I think you could see the difference between non-commissioned officers and officers, as in any society. Some generals were opportunists. If you take a random SS captain, he had more or less right-wing ideas.
