The Finns under the Great Mannerheim were and remain a lesson in courage against evil at impossible odds.

That doesn't change the fact that they ended the war by acceding to all of the demands of the Soviet - the Baltic island bases demanded, the industrial centers. They fought a wonderful fight, but it was one that they couldn't win - they were cut off on all sides by the end.

You don’t seem to get it.
Those valiant men saved their nation.
They had to give up something or face extermination.
They could not know Germany would soon attack the communists.
