Great site, Kai. Marvelous terrain, if you're not in the middle of a forest it's because you're sitting on a lake!

How do the land cessions to the Soviets compare to the initial demands before the Winter War? IMHO, Finland did get off lightly after WWII, thankfully Stalin had his hands full already otherwise we would see a Soviet Republic of Finland same as Lithuania

At the time I was in Finland the only jokes I managed to have those cool herrings of Finns laugh at were Russian jokes. Boy, did they hate thr Russians guts! (I suppose they still do, right?)
