Short answer: Never.
Long answer:
They helped us to fight the soviets during WW2. When we lost the battle (but the soviets suffered a great damage) the Russians claimed that Finns started the war. (That makes sense: Country isn't even quarter of the landspace of Soviets starts a war with quarter million army and 30 tanks against a country with a million man army and 30 000 tanks.
When they made the claim they got the control over Finns - partially. They ordered that the Germans must leave at once and so we had to get rid of them. They didn't want to leave and so they burned a big part of Lapland.
But hurray for us: We paid every single coin of our penalties without any help.
Before that the Germans wanted to become friends during 1916-1917, when we got our independence. But the other countries didn't want to grant the independence because the Germans so... Germans away and freedom from Russia.
they were against the USSR. So, when the USSR was with Germany, then Finland was on its own, then when the USSR was against Germany, Finland allied with Germany. Then when Finland surrendered to the USSR for a second time, Finland had to declare war on Germany.
Sweden was not, as it was neutral. Finland was not, but it was an ally of Germany. Germany obviously was occupied by Germany.
no
No, Germany did not occupy Finland. Finland and Germany were brothers in arms during WW2. When Finland was forced to resign to the Soviet Union, one of the demands were that the Finns should throw out the remaining German troops in Finland. The Germans slowly retreated back to Norway in what is called the "Lapland War".

soviet russia...........or maybe finland. take your pick you little punks
No , Finland was occupied by the Soviet Union for much of the war. If anything they were sympathetic to Germany on the grounds of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"
I don't know what Andrew means, but i totally agree, im from Finland and i have Germans. Or unleast their stupid language.
The total distance from Germany to Finland is 1,093 miles as the crow flies. This is equivalent to 1,758 kilometers or 949 nautical miles.
No, Finland was not occupied by Germany during World War II. Instead, Finland was a co-belligerent with Germany against the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1944, primarily to regain territories lost in the Winter War. While German troops were present in Finland, particularly in the northern regions, Finland maintained its sovereignty and operated independently. The relationship was complex, as Finland sought to achieve its own goals while aligning with Germany against a common enemy.
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.
