  1. Fortunately, in real life Stalin was suffocated with a pillow. Both Nazi Karl-Erik Ladau and Communist Hertta Kuusinen supported Urho Kekkonen in 1968. The horseshoe theory? Churchill spoke out against prosecuting any further German generals, as he felt it would interfere with the process of reconciliation with Germany.

  2. According to wikipedia, Chinese spring offensive of 1951: "The 29th Infantry Brigade consisted of three British and the Belgian Battalion supported by tanks and artillery. Despite facing a numerically superior enemy, the brigade held its positions for three days, repelling several human wave attacks..."

  3. Who is the most dangerous? Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong-il, Slobodan Milošević, Osama bin Laden. That's why you have to prioritize and execute.

  4. Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Justin Trudeau ratified Finland's NATO membership. I didn't even know Canada was a member. This seems final, although Turkey is slowing down a bit.

  5. Sweden would have been significant, Churchill knew, too.

  7. Colonel James H. Magill arrived to Finland in 1944. The Americans had severed diplomatic relations, so they had no representative until March 1945. Porkkala Naval Base was a Soviet naval base operational since 1944 on the Porkkala peninsula, 30 kilometers (19 mi) west of Helsinki, the Finnish capital. The Red army had a division in Lapland until the autumn of 1945, so it was very difficult to start anything. However, we had 14 748 leftover Panzerschrecks and 21 912 Panzerfaust.

  8. Australian units based with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF) in Japan were among the first UN personnel to be deployed in South Korea.

  9. Boris is very similar to Churchill, but I don't think Boris can be called a colonialist. As a Finn, I trust the RAF and the other RAF in Sweden and Norway, all professionals. Our swampy geography does not favor tanks.
