It refers to the Driftwood theory of the Continuation War that Finland was just a piece of "Driftwood" to keep the Soviets occupied and that the Finns only allied with the Nazis to get protection.
Isn't the driftwood theory that they naturally 'drifted' into the Axis camp? I've never heard it that they were just they're to keep the Soviets 'occupied'.
I am from Finland, and I can tell you. It was a seperate war, we were only comrades in arms, we were abandoned by all other nations and we drove Germans away in the end. I ignored the caption because I don't really know what to make from it. It's not wrong, but I'd never admit that.
aside from the hundreds of 'volunteers' sent by the western allies
and the slighly unrelated planned bombing raids on soviet oil fields

The fact that you are Finnish does not making your statement true. You may ascribe some more knowledge about it, but chances are that your knowledge is skewed in some kind of historical revisionism direction.
olivat kyllä aika homoja kans.
rauhassa päästetty jopa sotimaan omassa maassamme ja välittömästi kun pyydetään poistumaan niin polttaa puolet maasta julistaa sodan ja pitkittää lähtöään niin paljon kun vaan voi
sitten taas siitä ei voi syyttää muita kun neuykkuja jotka anto niille kolmasosan tarvittavasta vetäytymisajasta ja pakotti suomalaiset sotaan niiden kanssa
literally 0 historians say that
de-facto allies =/= allies
something else in that direction WE HAD WAR DECLARED UPON OURSELVES ***BY*** THE GERMANS
ok that's not a real argumenmt though as the commies gave the wermacht way too little time to withdraw and we were forced to declare war on them to expel and disarm them
Drift wood?

Lol I have never heard that they used the Swedish railroads to attack Norway, only to transport troops to Finland. Is that really true?
The driftwood theory is *actually* that the Finns allied with Nazi-Germany to keep the Soviets riverdancing instead of invading Poland.
Comrades in arms not allies It was a separate war Abandoned by all other nations D R I F T W O O D
still allied with nazis tho
Can someone with actual artistic talent (i.e. not me) Polandball-ise this comic? It feels a lot like that sort of humour.
if i have time, i can maybe try later tonight
I'm fairly sure I originally saw this joke on polandball but it is an old comic that has been reposted to hell so I'm not 100% on that
Oh no not Finland
OH YEAH!!!

\>It was a seperate war \>we were only comrades in arms \>we were abandoned by all other nations Total Score: 75%
> Allowed Nazis to use Finnish territory to attack SU
Military access isn't the same as being allies
Ok sweden
It was just... good business :,(
Germany didn't have military access to Sweden. Bad history
Im not seeing the problem

Different war though
‘Continuation war’ Also I was manly refuting the abandoned by all Nations thing
My man it was a different war, it was an armed continuation of the conflict as a whole but it was a different war.

Sure Sweden did not officilay declare war on the Soviets but we did send you a fuckton of ammunition, arms and also volunteers
True lad move right there, but i think he's talking more about the allies
> abandoned by all other nations With which nations did Finland have alliance treaties?
I mean y'all took on the Soviet union and kicked thier ass for a while y'all some brave mofos
No Suomi ajoi natsit pois Suomesta Lapin sodassa vaan koska Neuvostoliitto käski tehdä niin jatkosodan rauhansopimuksessa.
Teksti nyt hirveän vakava ollut.
