And how they didn't actually participate in the blockade and siege of Leningrad.
It's kinda wild, they took part in the siege and all but they're painted as "Well, they stopped by the 1939 borders and didn't take direct actions against the besieged city" as if they were benevolent or had actual mercy on the soon-to-be-genocided Soviets, they didn't take direct actions on the city for the same reasons the Nazis did: taking Leningrad by force was to be ridiculously costly and starving them out was "cheaper". Still, the Finns collaborated with the Germans by setting up a flotilla in Lake Ladoga to interdict in Soviet supply lines when the lake was not frozen (alongside German and Italian units), and despite being "passive" on the front, they still pressured the encircled Soviets.
