"Now, has any of you read, instead of relying on guessing with stereotypes?"
This is a fan art of one of the Lampton's teachers. I simply like her design. And history of Finland? 'cause Lampie is from there!

Wow, now this was a neat surprise! Great work, I really like how you draw bellies. :)
Also looks like someone's just as bad at history as I am. Poor kids!

I could tell you a good bit about the Fins.
Like where they setteled when they came to America.
And a good ammount about their involvement in WWII, like how they were just about the only members of the Axis allies who came smelling like roses.
Am I off the hook teacher?

Yeah, it's just sad when their wars with Soviet-Russia, and able to hold their independence during WWII usually gets ignored or not mentioned.
As for the Axis alliance, they didn't sign the papers (as much I know), and solely concentrated on Russia after the Winter War, Lapland War was when Finns chased off Nazis off their soil, in a fear of Russia taking action themselves.

The Fins sent about 2000 volunteer soldiers to fight as Nazi Units embeded with in the German army.
Statistics indicate that they were the Germans hands down most effective units during the war, and the units claim(though that is disupted) that they were never a party to any of the German War Crimes..

Well, since Nazi's concentration camps were not known to Allies or outer world and it was easier to hide facts back then. Finns only sent about 10 (or something) to the Nazi's camps.
And mostly the reason why Finns volunteered were sharing a common enemy and to get the training to fight, like Lauri Torni (Larry Thorne), who was trained by SS in 1941, and fought with them in the last year of the war, but was eventually part of US military from -54 until he died in Vietnam War.

The War Crimes were commited in both the Camps and on the Fronts, but like I said the claim is only disputed, and has never been out right proven.
Yes the reason the Fins threw in with the Nazis was due to the shared enemy that was the Russians. Honestly it wasn't even realy that though, the Fins realised they could play the Nazis, and recieve a large ammout of military equipment by calling them selves allies. Those 2000 soldiers are realy the only thing the Fins ever gave the Nazis. In return they that Hundreds of Thousands of pounds of war time goods.

In a war, every side commits crimes, thought they are weighted with. Do the soldiers do with their own will, following their superior's orders, severity of the actions and do the leaders play part of them? And Finns did have the camps in a occupied territories, though I don't know much about human rights there.
But, Hitler also wanted Finland as his ally, to gain northern route to Russia and that was part of Operation Barbarossa.
And let's just stop history lecturing here, because I think this is about to go on forever if we keep on this.
