Yes and no. As part of the British Commonwealth, Australia fought against Germany and Italy. Germany and Finland essentially aligned themselves to oppose a common foe-the Soviet Union. During the early stages of WWII, Britain actually gave aid to Finland in defense of attacks by the Soviet Union on Finnish territories. When Finland aligned with Germany, Britain declared war on Finland. Thus, the two become enemies by default. However, they never actually had combat with each other.

∙ 7y agoFinland was not officially a member of the Axis alliance (Germany, Italy, Japan, and a few others), but did fight as a "co-belligerent" on the Axis side.
Around the time World War II began, Finland was attacked by the Soviet Union; the Soviets won the short but brutal war. When Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Finland tried to take advantage of the situation to get revenge.
