Britain Warns Finland Sweden Over Allied Alignment
Britain sternly warned Finland and Sweden against allying with Germany against Soviet Russia. London said these governments risk disassociation from democracies unless their political stance changes. Churchill had pledged Soviet aid and urged other nations to do likewise. In Stockholm, Britain condemned Sweden’s transit permit for a German division en route to Finland. The government also voiced grave concern over President Ryti’s war call and its impact on Finland’s fate. No official Finnish stance had been received in London.
