Actually it is spelled "Finland". And no, it wasn't really occupied but rather was on the same side as Germany. When Germany (and other Axis powers) invaded the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 Finland helped them, likewise advancing into the Soviet Union's territory opposite Finland. However, the territory it moved into was really Finland's territory from the independence of Finland up until the Soviets invaded Finland in the Winter War (in the winter of 1939-'40) so I guess you could say they were moving BACK into territory that was rightfully theirs. At least that's how the Finns saw it. So they helped Germany surround the northern shores of Lake Ladoga which helped cut off the Soviet city of Leningrad which remained under siege for about 900 days.
Were there German troops in Finland? Yes, but they weren't there to occupy it but rather to fight alongside the Finns against the Soviets as part of the overall Axis invasion of the Soviet Union (starting on 22 June '41 like I said above). Eventually however, when the Soviets turned the tide and started winning, driving the invaders back, they eventually were able to retake the territory the Finns had moved (back) into and were able to in 1944 start really moving against Finland. Finland held the Soviets back as long as it could but eventually it was a lost cause and they had to make peace with the Soviets. As part of the peace agreement Finland had to help drive the German troops out of Finland, which they did. But at no time was Finland really "occupied" by Germany.
