    Default Re: For PanzerJaeger, comparing the armies of WW2

    I would like to raise a point. Finnish army lost about generation of men during WWII(largest conscription percent of any side fighting in WWII), Our forces are remembered from winter war. Now in the end of winter war Finnish army was exhausted, look at the end of continuation war as we call it, now the Soviets didint suffer anymore from the self created problems like in winter war, last 8(eight) battles during summer 1944,resulted in decesive Finnish victories,against mostly Soviet guard´s armies, which couldnt be stopped anywhere else?Why did this happen? And also after the Moscow peace treaty,the German army in Lappland was driven away by basically Finnnish conscripts that had not even seen fighting much at all before it?Can somebody please rationalize why things happened like they happened? London and Helsinki are the two capitals , from the countries that fought iin Western Europe that were not conquered during WWII.
