. In the late 1930s, the Finns accepted a large slice of Soviet land in return for a small area of Finnish land (the Soviets thought this area easier to defend in the event of a war). The Finns agreed to this – took the Soviet land and then refused to hand-over the agreed Finnish land in return. This led to the Winter War (1939-1940). The Finns received support and arms from the West, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Italy – before losing the conflict and being forced to hand-over the disputed land. Once Hitler had invaded the USSR, the Finns immeditely joined-in the attack in what they called the “Continuation War” (1941-1944) – focusing their efforts on the North-West area of the USSR. The Finns committed endless atrocities against Soviet Red Army soldiers – and like the Nazis Germans (their allies) – the Finns liked to photograph and film their War Crimes. When it became obvious Hitler was losing the war – the Finns wanted to avoid being invaded and liberated by the Soviets – and so made a separate peace. After the war, Finland faced NO WAR Crimes Trials and was re-packaged as a friendly and inviting country within which “Father Christmas” resides and all children can experience endless merriment and merth. Of course, as capitalism rules the roost – this scenario is an illusion that can be purchased for a price – with the stipulation that the “Buyer Beware”! These children have experienced the first crushing disappointment of their lives – capitalism will ensure that many more will follow!
