question I'd throw out there:
Wonder why the Soviets didn't go in and finish off Finland (no pun intended) after (or during) the war?
I mean, it's not as if Stalin wasn't looking to expand the empire - and they obviously had 'history'.
Yea, the Finns fought well in the 'continuation war' etc, but I couldn't imagine them having a chance against the USSR of 1945...
appreciate your thoughts on this...
