RE: Finnish Fascist Flyers? - A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words
I get a huge backlash from my Finnish friends that are drowning in their own revisionist history.
What exactly is their version? Is it "we just wanted back the land that the USSR stole"?
Their version is that the Russians invaded them in 1939-1940 and took portions of their land. This is true. The land was actually given to them by the Russians earlier, but that part gets forgotten in their version. Of course, they were justified in attacking the Soviets. However, they partnered with the Nazis. That is emphatically true, but they deny this left and right and make excuses for it. They had no regrets whatsoever during the war until Germany started losing. Then they switched sides at the last minute - like Italy does every time.
