The Finns negotiated an alliance with one of the most evil regimes the world has ever seen, Nazi Germany, in order to fight the common enemy, communist Russia, but the alliance went far beyond the mere cobelligerency to full scale collaboration. The episode details war crimes committed by the Waffen SS Finish soldiers, and explores the depth of the Finish denial. The Soviet POVs received harsh treatment and died by the thousands in Finnish camps, for which Finnish collaborators were tried after the war. However, war time leader Mannerheim, once seen as Finnish Hitler, is revered in present day Finland and was even voted to be "greatest Finn" in 2004, while Risto Ryti, war time president of Finland imprisoned for Nazi collaboration by the western allies for 10 years after the war, won second place.
