Finland on the road to ruin under Mannerheim’s era
The War Today by J M Roberts Jr argues Finland has fallen into a Hitlerite orbit, backing Nazi leadership to spite the Soviets. It credits Field Marshal Gustav Mannerheim, once a Finnish patriot, with guiding the country toward collaboration with Germany and away from the Allies, likening Finland to a Balkan-like state under Hitler. The piece criticizes Mannerheim as a former Bolshevik foe turned regent of a republic-like nation under German influence.
