Olof I was not aware of the German involvement with the Finns in the Soviet-Finish Winter War. I read an assessment of the Molotov/Von Ribbentrop Agreement that suggested that a Hitler nod to Stalin on Finland was in a secret protocol. [Another report indicated that the Soviet’s weakness against the small Finnish army contributed to Hitler’s decision to attack the Soviet Union in 1941.]
I read a fascinating book on Swedish foreign policy perhaps 50 years ago that highlighted the massive financial and military assistance that ‘neutral’ Sweden provided to Finland during the 1939-1940 Winter War.
I think it was in the continued war that Hitler intervened. From what I have read, Mannerheim was not happy about it, but the situation was maybe disastrous enough, and the outcome was the same.
