When the Second World War broke out, [Christopher] Lee volunteered to fight for the Finnish forces during the Winter War in 1939.[38] He and other British volunteers were kept away from actual fighting, but they were issued winter gear and were posted on guard duty a safe distance from the front lines. After two weeks, they returned home.[39]

:(

Obviously Saruman doesn't fight in the front lines. He upgraded the finnish bog orcs into uruk hai who of course lost the war but not as badly as standard orcs would have.

One time the soviets even thought meat was back on the menu when they tried to steal the orc soup in the Sausage war

Remember when Finland joined the Axis (under their leader, a tsarist general, mass murderer, and pal of Hitler, also voted Greatest Finn of All Time) and we all collectively decided to forget about it because, idk, Finland is honorarily Western?


Yup. But we in finland have these terms called "Separate War" and "Driftwood Theory" because obviously we can't be bothered about what others did during in that whole sordid WW2 business and nothing we did was our fault.

There's no denying that german assistance was pretty crucial in repelling the soviets. And getting invaded by the Soviet "Stalin" Union wasn't exactly great. But high-fiving the motherfucking führer does look bad when some bothersome historian brings it up

the Finns did ally with the Germans, but they also went to war with the Germans so it's kind of a wash.

Tbf that was because we had already surrendered to the Soviets and they told us to drive the germans out.

Not saying it wasn't a good idea tho.
