Finland fought on the side of Germany, but was recognized as a special case by the western Allies. Finland had once been a part of Russia. During the period 1939-41, when Hitler and Stalin were partners, each was busy greedily gobbling up his neighbors. Hitler was notably better at this than Stalin. One of Stalin's moves in this period was to attack Finland in the "Winter War". The Finns had a tiny army, but excellent leadership under Field Marshal Mannerheim, and gave Stalin two black eyes and a bloody nose. So, on the principle that my enemy's enemy is my friend, when Hitler attacked the Soviets, the Finns joined in.
