so so wrong, ussr ´s empire was a Nazi ally not Finland

[@laurasalazar9591]

Great research indeed & very accurate so thanks for history specifics & accurate research .

[@TravisHRF16CC]

To say the Finns were pinched would be a massive understatement. Sandwiched between the Fascists and Soviets leaves a nation with awful options.

[@stefanholmstrom68]

A relative of mine was an artillery observer, a a sub-lieutenant. As he spoke German, he was assigned with an Finnish artillery unit to German troops in Lapland. As mentioned in the video, at one point there were over 200.000 German soldiers in Finnish Lapland, something we never learned anything about in school. Anyway, my relative later wrote a book (Välirauhan ja jatkosodan päiviä ja öitä), where he also told about this time, as a platoon leader in the north. It was hard for the Finns or Russians in the north, but for The Germans the terrain was a terrible challenge as there where no real roads, not even paths. "In Zwei Wochen Kandalax!", "We'll get to Kantalahti (Кандала́кша, Kandalakša) in two weeks", they said, but didn't actually get far at all. You can walk a whole day in Lapland and in the evening you get the feeling you haven't got anywhere at all, as the tundra looks the same everywhere and the distances are somewhat surreal. The distance from Kuolajärvi near the Finnish border (where the border is today) to Kantalahti is 20 kms, but realistically it was more like 200, it you think of it as a military target.

[@rev.dr.davidcole8915]

It is a shameful betrayal that the Finns turned on their former allies. At this point in the war, the Soviets were the real enemy that would take Finnish land for their megalomaniac leader, Stalin.

[@ShermanMark1]

Finland is always over Looked in World War Two so it is nice to see someone covering some of Finland's story in world war two

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

Well they were Nazi collaborators ,so they're 🐓🍭

[@ronalddesiderio7625]

Very True you don’t see much if anything about Finland 🇫🇮 in WWII. And I’ve been watching vids for the last 10yrs 👍🏾

[@JohnCothren-l4c]

I thought everyone heard of the Finnish soldier that took too much amphetamine.

[@dougschmitii6165]

​@@JohnCothren-l4cI believe a movie named "Crank" was about this...

[@JohnCothren-l4c]

@dougschmitii6165 chelios was Finnish?

[@buckgulick3968]

As a German, how surreal it must have been to suddenly find yourself fighting an enemy whose national symbol was also a swastika.

[@danielbrown8431]

I learn more about the second world war that I never knew before I study history and I love this channel I just love it

[@carolmartin7042]

Thank you. This explained the devastation of Finland. My young Finnish friends somehow did not relate this situation to me. Glen

[@garryferrington811]

Finland sure had it tough in those years!

[@fitzglass8852]

With recent events ! Appropriate video!

[@ronalddesiderio7625]

Good show DD 👍🏾💜

[@amadeusamwater]

The Germans clearly learned the fundamentals of winter warfare from both the Russian failure and the Finnish success.

[@ifv2089]

They certainly learned in the Soviet winter of 1941 😂

[@redr1150r]

The continuation war was the fight against the Germans when they refused to leave after the Finns signed a deal with the Soviet Union to stop fighting.

[@emmanuelawosusi2365]

Love the content

[@rosesandsongs21]

"The Shocking Cost Nazi Allies Never Saw Coming"... Wrong title, "The Germans Never Saw the Finnish Betrayal Coming"... Ah, much better.

[@francoisdutoit6206]

A map would have been great.

[@auro1986]

so it is to be contemplated that in a war should you be ally to some side or be on your own side

[@Mustang_Dan]

I wonder if Stalin wouldn’t have F’d around with the U.S. Military and found out, immediately after the German’s were defeated in 1945 (Google Berlin airlift if you’re not familiar) if he wasn’t humiliated by the betrayal of Hytler in 1941 after the non aggression pact they signed. Could Stalin have become so untrusting of the west solely because he was played before and looked like a fool? Was he unwilling to ever allow that to happen again to the point he created an enemy out of the U.S. when we could’ve maybe remained allies* and prevented the Cold War? *Allies that keep each other at arm’s length.

[@stevencurrie]

That is doubtful. The Soviets wanted to gobble up as much land in Eastern Europe as they could. The U.S. and the Soviets were only wartime allies against Hitler. After the war, they went back to being enemies.

[@MrChopsticktech]

Stalin trusted no one.

[@junestanich7888]

Stalin took territories by force in addition to the ones granted him by treaty, predictable, just like Putin now.

[@joeylawn36111]

8:52 Didn't know the Germans had an Armored Snowmobile....🤣

[@robertbeirne9813]

I caught that also. Went back to check it out. I can see the skies but no means of propulsion. Hmmm.

[@peabase]

The "snowmobile" sports a swastika, not a Balkenkreuz. The swastika has in Finnish use from 1918 till 1944. It's a Finnish vehicle. There's a prop at the back for propulsion.

[@jeremymackevincaylor5041]

Casualties of war are the wounded and the dead. Not 2000 wounded and 1000 deaths it would be 3,000 casualties

I'm shocked by the pitch of this episode's sponsor and how any content creator could endorse them with a clear conscience.

All these wars were so unnecessary.

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

Defeating Nazi that terrorized europe bombed civilians enslaved conquered people , murd e red anyone not "Aryan " gassed 6 million Jews was unnecessary?? Stop smoking Dope

[@peabase]

True enough. Had Stalin kept his grubby little fingers out of Finland, then Finland could've stayed out of WW2, just like Sweden.

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

@@andrewholmes1889 so defeating Nazis was unnecessary? 🙄 WOW

[@andrewholmes1889]

@@j.robertsergertson4513 It wasn't about defeating the nazis. Look deeper. All these wars were about making money. For example the Dutch royal family gave Germany 1 million barrels of oil from Shell. Both sides were supported by Ford, GM etc. There was an oil that the German He111 bomber needed to fly, the only company that made it was an American company. It could have stopped at any time but didn't. Hitler gave Henry Ford Germany's highest decoration for services to Germany. WW1, WW2 and on and on were all preplanned.

Without nazi weapons Finland would have not got defensive victory in 1944 which helped Finland remain independent during peace deal. Red Army got wrecked in Karelian Isthmus

[@TheGuitarRoom]

If Germany surrendered under my command, they would have been forced to pay restitution towards all the people, cultures, religions, and countries that they devastated. 50% of the entire revenue of the country, would have gone to rebuilding all the countries they devastated for a minimum of 20 years if they complained, it would’ve gone up to 50 years

[@bigedslobotomy]

The reparations of WWI ruined the German economy, and aided Hitler in his rise to power. To have reparations after WWII would have left Germany as an enemy of the US,rather than an ally.

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

The allies did that in WW 1 and it kinda helped Hitler gain power and start WW2 , Good call 🙄

[@joejohnson4183]

Apparently someone is not familiar with what happened after WW1 , maybe go do some more research .

[@Nothinghappinghere-qz4ji]

You could have used the same train carriage Hitler made the French sign their surrender in. That'd show them.

[@ronalddesiderio7625]

Ya unfortunately thats why it’s believed by historians that this war was inevitable. Due to ridiculous reperations from WWI. You have to remember you have a lot of pissed of ptsd vets coming home.
