and were armed with some excellent german equipment.
The Finns had excellent infantry , but they didn't have much in the way of German equipment at that stage of the war .
The German did supply a lot of mines , towed artillery pieces (mainly captured stocks) and 1000 old machine guns . The most effective weapons the Germans supplied were the 59 StugIIIs and the 75mmPAK-40 .
Panzerfaust/shreks were not supplied until 1944 and the tanks 15 Pz.IV didn,t arrive until just before the Finns changed sides .
Finland effectively ceased offensive actions once it had regained its lost territory from the Winter War .
