The spin on the Finns is that they weren't allies of Germany but cobelligerents
against a common enemy, the Soviet Union. I'm willing to buy into the idea
that there is a difference between the two.

When the Finns, in the late summer of 1941, stopped upon reaching the
old border, most people were ready to buy the idea, but when they went
on to more conquests (dreams of "Greater Finland" etc.) few considered
them to be more than mere allies of the Nazis.
