The Finnish government stressed that Finland was fighting as a co-belligerent with Germany against the USSR only to protect itself and that it was still the same democratic country as it had been in the Winter War.
Fínska vláda zdôraznila, že Fínsko bojovalo ako spolurežívnik s Nemeckom proti ZSSR len preto, aby sa ochránilo a že je to stále tá istá demokratická krajina ako v zimnej vojne.
