what are you talking about?????
you do NOT know Finnish history, don't make it up on the fly,
Finland wasn't even in that war!!!!
and I quote
"1917 Revolution in Russia; Finland declares itself independent on December 6; Russia's Bolshevik government recognises Finnish independence on December 31.
1918 At the end of January, Government forces, known as The Whites, led by General C. G. E. Mannerheim, start to disarm Russian troops still stationed in the western Finnish province of Ostrobothnia. At the same time, left-wing forces known as The Red Guards, inspired by the Bolshevik revolution, seized power in southern Finland. The ensuing conflict between Reds and Whites, known variously as a civil war, a liberation war, a class war etc., depending on political views, ended in victory for the Government forces aided by German troops despatched to southern Finland. A German prince, Friedrich Karl, was chosen to be king of Finland but renounced the nomination within a month, without setting foot in Finland.
