Do they still have swastikas on their fighter jets in Finland?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I'm not 100% sure but I think it was dropped a couple of years ago. Plenty of war memorials over here still have at least one swastika on them though yea

Few years ago they banned the swastika from their airforce

Stalin should've steamrolled their asses 100% of the way to the gulf of Bothnia during the great patriotic war.

I'd like to hear the youtuber Finnish Bolshevik's take on this in particular.

Trump is my favorite communist.

I'm not gonna say I agree with this or defend censorship but when your country got invaded by the most famous communist country in history and had a bad time under their rule, then it's quite understandable why people there don't like symbols associated with said country.

The entire affair is just a mess of history. A fascist dictatorship being replaced with a communist one.

What were they doing before being invaded?

Maybe participating in a lil seige, just a cheeky lil seige of Leningrad?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Tbf the siege of Leningrad happened after.

And just to be clear, in case any historical revisionists are reading this: the Continuation War was not the USSR invading Finland, it was Finland invading the USSR alongside Nazi Germany.

Oh yeah, tbh I'm always get that confused with something they did earlier. Was it letting the Nazis invade though a corridor of land?
