Finland Seen Ready to Welcome U.S. Occupation
Washington diplomatic circles believed Finland would welcome an American military occupation to secure its withdrawal from the war. A plan could help Finland avoid surrendering unconditionally or facing Russian forces, with a potential armistice allowing U.S. troops to chase Germans from Finnish soil while postwar frontiers remain to be decided by a United Nations council. Finnish hopes rise for allied support to end hostilities, with routes via Barents Sea or northern Norway discussed. Paasikivi, the Finnish diplomat, was reported to plan a return to Helsinki to report on peace talks progress with Russia.
