Neither of which are true. Finland was neutral prior to SU attacking us (Winter War),

so we looked for help, and the only one who offered it was Germany.
We got planes, ammo and guns in exchange of letting Germans be in Finland.
So if I have this in my head correct, the Finns didn't fight the Germans?

Only American unit I have heard of was a volunteer ambulance unit, and that
was in an American documentary.

I know there were Finns who had double-citizenship as Americans who came
back to fight (oldest I've seen was 62yr).
Now, this is where I get confused. I was taught that you can't have double citizenship unless you're a Native American.

I'll have to do some looking around.
