the poles tore apart sovereign czechoslovakia. these seizures did not in any way affect the friendly rapprochement between berlin and helsinki. in june 1939, the head of german military intelligence, admiral canaris, secretly visited finland. the visit resulted in the signing of an agreement on the opening of an intelligence center on finnish territory. advera. following him, the chief of the general staff of the german ground forces, colonel general halder, came to finland. he inspected military installations along the soviet border, where demonstrations were held especially for him. artillery firing. at this time, the finnish border was only 32 km from the center.

leningrad, understanding what this threatens in the event of an upcoming war, stalin invited the finnish leadership to discuss a possible exchange of territories, here it must be borne in mind that when negotiations were underway, because stalin, molttov wanted it, the choice would have remained finnish and half of ladaga would have been finnish. moreover, for this small territory we transferred territory twice as large in area in northern corelia and in response to finnish remarks, stalin uttered the famous phrase: there is such a word as geography: we are not afraid of you, you will not attack , but germany can use your territory as a bridgehead, and what is 32 km, this is one throw and leningrad would have been captured, the task was to push the border, the finns did not agree to this , this led to the winter war, they lost both their choice and the entire karelian isthmus, all their accommodation. the winter war began in november. years, then the red

army was unable to immediately break through the powerful fortifications of the mannerheim line. it was possible to do this only after more than three months bloody battles. as a result of the war, the border was moved back, but without any compensation from the soviet side. the change in border was very important for the future. and as for. where stalin later drew the border with finland. stalin's decision to move the border away from leningrad turned out to be very timely. 1940. agreement

to the deployment of german troops in finland. the german command sent them to lopland to prepare an attack on murmansk. finnish ports, railways and airfields were provided to the germans for delivery ammunition and equipment to the soviet border. on march 1, 1941, the head of the main department of the sss, gotleberg, officially invited the finnish authorities to begin forming national military units of the sss. this idea was warmly supported by mannerheim by the entire leadership of soomi, including the president and prime minister. thus, finland became the only state in the world that not only voluntarily admitted german troops, but of its own free will began to form ss military units.

the fighting in ukraine, finnish ss men were thrown into assault on the caucasus. but to take possession of the deposits and grozny. failed, having lost 2/3 of its personnel, the battalion was taken to germany and disbanded. most of the surviving ss men continued to fight as part of the sss nordland division. after the defeat of germany, they unexpectedly found influential patrons in western intelligence services. these war criminals first fled to sweden, and from sweden they fled all over the world, like south america, the usa, and so on, it is very important to understand that the finnish special forces have accumulated very rich experience in combat operations in the arctic conditions, long-range sabotage and reconnaissance groups reporting directly to menerheim's headquarters entered the soviet rear 200-300 km on

skis, and many of these finnish saboteurs, who were also war criminals, immediately went to serve in the us army to share their valuable experience, like here's how to survive in tactical conditions, how to carry out such deep raids. one of the most famous finnish ss saboteurs, lauri törni, is buried at the famous arlington military cemetery in washington. during the war he carried out sabotage in the soviet rear. in 1944, terne transferred his service to the germans; for his distinction in battles against the red army, he was awarded the iron cross, second class. after the war, he fled to the united states, where, under the name larry thorne, he was recruited into the american

special forces. he died in 1965 in vietnam while participating in another reconnaissance mission. operation. today he is the only member of the sun to have the honor of lying next to american presidents, military astronauts, and astronauts at arlington national cemetery. in state colorado, the headquarters of the 10th special forces group was named after him. in 2004, according to the results of voting by finnish television viewers, former ssslauri törni took 52nd place in the list of the 100 greatest finns. according to

barbarossa's plan, finland was supposed to pin down as many russian forces as possible on both sides of lake ladazh. maner game performed this task very conscientiously. finnish troops closed the blockade ring from the north and captured most of soviet karelia, reaching the southern section of the belomor-baltic sea channel. the lack of long-range artillery and a sufficient number of bombers did not allow them to launch massive attacks on leningrad. at the same time, the finnish army actively participated in organizing sabotage against the road of life. in 1942, the german command decided to destroy the road to life

with a surprise attack from finnish territory. the operation was codenamed brazil. her main goal was our dry island, which was the key to the entire southern part of lake ladazh. if successful, leningrad was doomed for the second blockade winter and complete extinction. longueuil warmly supported this idea, calling attacks on the road of life actions in the spirit of the vikings. with his active assistance , a german naval base was created in the city of lakhdon-pokha. german self-propelled landing bags and the twelfth detachment of italian torpedo boats from the city of la spezia were delivered disassembled to the base by rail through finland. the italians, like the finns, were supposed to cover the germans during the landing on the island. the enemy flotilla attacked sukha island. at dawn on october 22 1942, part of the german paratroopers managed

to land on the shore. the island's garrison, numbering about 90 people, offered them fierce resistance. when the battle turned into hand-to-hand combat, our pilots and sailors of the ladazh flotilla came to the aid of the island’s defenders. we managed to defend the road to life. the main success of the finnish army on the eastern front was the capture of petrozavodsk. this city was founded by peter ii on the shores of lake onega in 1703. by order of the tsar , a state-owned arms factory was built here, where during the northern war, cannons were cast for

the russian fleet, yakars and cannonballs were made. one of the defense lines of petrozavodsk passed in the area of ​​height 168.5. in september 1941, more than one thousand out of 313 defenders of the city died here. most of the soldiers were from the urals, they continued to fight surrounded, even when the advanced finnish units had already broken through to the outskirts of petrozavodsk. if the ural men had not fought to the death in this place for 3 weeks, then there would have been a second ring of leningrad, the finns would have united with the germans in the volkhov area, and we would not have had 2011. managed to discover and rebury the remains of 250 red army soldiers.

the names of several dozen heroes were established thanks to the medallions found. the personal belongings of the fighters are left at the place of their death, next to which a red star is placed. we discovered during the search work that the finnish army had weapons of the italian and japanese army, that is, everything that was in warehouses in europe was issued by the finnish army, even steel helmets, that is, helmets, were in the finnish army 16 types, it feels like all of europe wanted the finnish army, together with the german army, to defeat the soviet union. these shots capture the parade of finnish troops after the capture of petrozavodsk. after the war , a myth will appear that the finnish army did not seek to seize the original russian lands. in reality, everything was completely

different. and trozavodsk was occupied by finnish troops on october 2, 1941, immediately after this the invader aneg, 2 weeks later the finns began to create a huge camp zone here for the russian population of karelia. according to by order of the authorities, russians were classified as second-class people and should not have mixed with the privileged karelians and other ugric finnish peoples; in total , seven concentration camps were created in petrozavodsk and by the finnish occupiers, in which even large families and mothers with infants were placed . today in petrozavodsk live the last witnesses of the monstrous crimes of the finnish army on russian soil. klavdia

alexandrovna, together with her mother and five sisters , ended up in a concentration camp. number six, before that the finns evicted them from their native village in zaonezhye. her father died at the front. mom, stepanida ivanovna soboleva, unable to withstand the bullying of the finnish guards, became seriously ill and died. they buried her in this mass grave, on the outskirts of petrozavodsk. for everyone, the worst thing was hunger, and therefore dystrophy. there was dropsy, their legs and faces were swollen, people were swollen, they could not walk, and of course, there was also a system of punishment for the slightest violation, for trying to get under the wire, in search of food, when children violated the established regime, they could shoot, i personally was shot at by guards, i have a bullet wound on my hip for years, it happened that

they killed, died, children died, there was forced labor, ours... the eldest maria worked at the age of 14, then she was sent to logging 15 years, and very few returned from there, out of 700 sent to kutizhma , after 3 months only 147 people returned, the rest died of hunger and illness, the hardest thing for me is to imagine that my mother has six children and nothing to give to eat. this cannot be imagined. in this photo taken right away after the liberation of petrozavodsk, klavdiya alexandrovna stands by the barbed wire in the lower right corner. in 2007, on behalf of

the union, she filed a formal claim with the european court of rights. before this, they had already approached the president of finland, martti ahtisaari and tari halanen, about compensation, but were refused. the european court, our attempt to appeal was also unsuccessful, since we had to go through all the stages of the courts, starting with the hirmi county court of finland regarding my claim for compensation of 7,500 euros. how the german prisoners were paid german conslagels, to which it was answered that finland did not commit war crimes, that everything was according to the laws of war, in january 1944, manargey ordered to burn all documents relating to the finnish occupiers. after

germany's victory over the soviet union, finnish authorities. planned to completely get rid of the entire russian population in the territories annexed to greater finland. in preparation for this large-scale ethnic cleansing, at the end of 1941, a representative of the military commands of east korea arrived with visit to germany. the main purpose of his trip was to discuss with various departments of the third reich the issues of deportation of russian residents of karelia to the german zone. occupation. in addition, the representative of finland had to study the experience of the german authorities in the development of occupied soviet territories. in particular, finnish officials. became soviet

prisoners of war, they were kept in unbearable conditions, used in the most difficult jobs, starved and beaten for the slightest offense, out of 64 thousand red army soldiers who found themselves in finnish captivity, from hunger and bullying, everyone died in the hands of a unique thing, this is a box that was made in captivity, in finnish captivity, by a soviet prisoner of war, our prisoners made such boxes, partigars, boxes in order to exchange them for bread, in particular on this box , on the back at the bottom, written with a ballpoint pen , that is, after the war, exchanged from a russian prisoner... in the spring of forty-four , petrozavodsk svir for four sandwiches with sausage, that is, this is the territory of the occupied finnish army, there was a fairly large number

prisoner camps and between our captured guards there was such an exchange trade, after the defeat of the germans at stalingrad , mannheim ordered, just in case , to rename the concentration camps for russians into resettlement camps or... for internees, food standards for prisoners were even increased, and a number of discriminatory restrictions were abolished for the unrelated finnish population of karelia. in 1944, when soviet troops drove the germans back from leningrad, the finnish leadership hastened to begin secret negotiations with soviet union, on the conditions for exiting the war. but they're done. the finns' last hope for delaying retribution were three powerful lines of fortifications with which they blocked the karelian isthmus. here mannerheim

planned to detain the russians in the same way as during the winter war. but the offensive of the red army, which began in june 1944, in the summer of 1944 , one of the most fierce battles on the soviet-finnish front took place in the forest; here, in the area of ​​​​the village of kuterselki, on june 14, our troops managed to break through the main line enemy defense on the karilian isthmus. the finns built it for 3 years and considered it impregnable. concrete hollows in several rows, behind which stretched anti-tank ditches. the entire space between the gouges was mined. next came

wire barriers, behind which there were full-profile trenches, with armored caps for machine-gun nests, bunkers and pillboxes. in the cuuter, the remains of one of the concrete shelters of the zine, which was entangled with wire and filled with concrete, were preserved. from above this structure was covered with stones and gravel, in in case of artillery shelling or bombing. about ten people could hide in it; the battle-hardened and well-armed red army

only took 10 days to break through all three lines of finnish defense and take samples. this defeat forced the finns to return to the negotiating table. in september 1944, the finnish government announced that it was withdrawing from the war and accepting all soviet conditions. after the signing of the armistice agreement, the finnish troops, this unexpected somersault of yesterday's allies, led the command the wehrmacht was in indescribable rage. retreating from southern lopland, the germans burned the city in revenge. on april 6, 1948 , a soviet-finnish treaty was signed in moscow on

the relationship between the two countries with a clean slate. therefore , manner was able to calmly end his days in europe without fear of criminal prosecution. as for stalin’s attitude towards monerheim, at the end of the great patriotic war, i would say that stalin simply used monerheim. monergame was necessary in order to condemn all those responsible for participation in finland. in helsinki a trial took place, where the very people who were manarheim's comrades, with whom he ruled finland, were in the dock. in order not to create any social upheavals, finland needed to be friendly to the soviet union, and manerheim actually ensured this. marshal manerheim died in january 1951 at the age of eighty-four and was

buried in the military cemetery in helsinki. the soviet country did not take revenge, did not punish finnish criminals so harshly, based on the fact that the goal was to obtain a neutral status for finland, which was done, to build good friendly relations between the soviet union and finland, by the way, this continued throughout the post-war period until the beginning of the 20th century. today, in my opinion, finland is making a tragic mistake by breaking off relations with russia and joining the nato bloc. the finns did not learn the lessons of history well, when they had bad relations with russia or fought with russia, they always suffered defeat. petrozavodsk was awarded an honorary title, a city of military glory, in 2015 it was built on the site of mass graves of prisoners and finnish concentration camps. the exact number of victims of the finnish

occupation has not yet been established.
