Did Germany occupie Finland?
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".
Why did the winter war happen?
The question and answer needs qualification as to dates. Here's why; Stalin's deal with Hitler via the Soviet -German Non Aggression act had secret clauses. Some of which of course divided up Poland between Germany & the Soviet Union. Also, the pact gave Stalin a free hand to invade Estonia, Bessarabia, Latvia and Finland. There may have been a misunderstanding between the two powers over the invasion of Finland. Therefore dates of the Soviet invasion needs clarification. In any case, Finland became a victim of Stalin's actions. Now, of course the Pact did not preclude the Soviets from invading Finland. To add to the confusion surrounding Germany, Finland & the the USSR was the 1944 armistice between Finland & the USSR by which the Finns asked Germany to evacuate Finland. Clarification on the Finland situation between 1939 and 1944 is welcomed. ============================================================================The Soviets were afraid of possible invasion by the Germans, that could take place through Finland or in the Gulf of Finland, so the USSR demanded the finns to move the border back 20km and rent an navalbase for the Soviets in the gulf of Finland. After hard consideration, the finnish government said no, because it was clear, that the Soviets were going to invade rest of Finland afterwards. Stalin got angry and the Soviet generals made plans to invade Finland and make it look like Finland started the war. The Russians ended up firing rounds from granadelaunchers next to border on their own side and they blamed the finns for it. The finns denied any firing because they didn't do anything and Stalin got an great opportunity to strike Finland. Heavy bombardement started and attacks were launched across the whole border by the Soviets and so on...
How many Finnish people died in concentration camps?
Finland fought against the Soviet Union and was an ally of Germany, but it didn't send people to concentration camps. Finnish authorities did, although, at the time, without the consent of political leadership, send eight middle European Jewish refugees (non-citizens), to the German authorities (Gestapo) in Estonia, seven of which perished in Auschwitz and there was sizable exchange of POW's (Russian to Germans, Estonian and Ingrian to Finns) between Finnish and German authorities between 1941 and 1943/4. After the war Finland was forced to hand over a large number of former Soviet citizens who fought on Finnish side (Estonians) or were refugees to Finland (Ingrians) to the Soviet authorities, which meant them being treated in the Soviet Union as traitors and subsequently meant that many of them were executed or sent to Soviet (concentration/prison) camps in Siberia.
Was Findland occupied by Germany in World War 2?
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.

Was Finland occupid during World War 2?
No. The Finns were an Axis ally. They had fought the 'Winter War' in 1940 against the invading Soviet army and had eventually been forced to surrender various territories after heroic resistance. They supported the German invasion of Russia in 1941 because they were anti-Russian rather than pro-German.
Finland Finland was never occupied by Germans Finns were their allies?

How many finnish submarines participated in the battle of the Atlantic how many allied ships did they destroy?
The Finns were not at war with Britain, America, France, or any of the Allies other than the Soviet Union - they saw their war with the Soviets as a continuation of the Winter War of 1939. Thus, Finnish subs were limited to Soviet targets.The Iku-Turso is believed to have sunk a single Soviet Shchuka-class submarine. The Soviets disputed this claim. The Vesihiisi sunk a single Soviet S-class submarine (S7). The Vesikko is claimed to have sunk a single Soviet merchant ship (the Vyborg), although the Soviet Union claimed it to have been sunk by a German onslaught. The Vetehinen sank a single Soviet Shchuka-class submarine by ramming it.The Finns had five submarines which served during WWII. Their impact on the war - either WWII as a whole, or the Continuation War - could be seen as relatively insignificant.The Finnish subs were also used to deploy mines, although there is no confirmation as to whether or not any of these mines had any effect.
