The Finns were very good soldiers and along with the Hungarians the best allies Germany had. Too bad there were only 3 million Finns to fight the Soviets instead of 40 million Italians Germany was saddled with.I don't want to disparage the Italians, they are a good and talented people, but let's face it; military-wise they haven't done anything worth talking about ever since the Roman empire collapsed.... Plus the Italians did not want to be involved in the war only Mussolini brought them kicking and screaming into that mess!
