  1. Not to mention Dwight D. Eisenhower was a Republican and more German than SS commandant Karl Chmielewski.

  2.  @ImperativeGames  Being able to travel in Finland also made it easier for them. American colonel George E. Huthsteiner was military Attaché to the three Baltic states and Finland. He inspected Finnish troops in Karhumäki (Medvezhyegorsk) 17.09.1942. Crazy to see an American officer on the eastern front.

  3. To be honest, I find it pretty irrelevant which one wins. My grandpa sabotaged the Kirov railway and was not even promoted. However, in civilian life he had better luck than the "winners" had.

  4. In Finland we have a classified list of Stasi agents. They are all state leaders and members of the Social Democratic Party. Kind of public secret. Imagine if you were a former Gestapo agent. Well, we're just gonna classify everything, so it doesn’t affect our popularity.

  5.  @philvanderlaan5942  I thought English resistance means resisting the English.. I’m not sure if the Allied (2016) film plot happened in the UK, but it did happen in France. Oh it did happen in London. Mathilde Carré was sent to London to infiltrate the SOE.

  6. I don't want to be a grammar Nazi, but Hjalmar is a Scandinavian male given name.

  7. @Fabian Kirchgessner Another question is how "progressive" was the SPD at the time. Divorce, abortion, and the birth control pill didn't exist. I suspect their goal was to hold fair elections, which sounds quite Republican.

  8. Crazy photo by the way, if you search "George Edward Huthsteiner". Finnish, German, Italian, French, American and Japanese in front of Lenin's statue in Finnish occupied Petrozavodsk 2 October 1942. Lastly, Max von Hellens from St. Petersburg, with a map in his hand. This is how data is leaked. At least the British are absent from this meeting

  9. Would you say that Mauno Koivisto was one of the good guys? According to Koivisto, they succeeded pushing Soviets back in August 1944.

  10. US aid to China was signed in March 1941. Lend-lease should have sounded the alarm bells, as production was and still is higher than in the EU
