| Description | World War II cartoon shows Finland, depicted as a young boy, squaring off in the prize ring against Russia, depicted as a rough peasant. Hitler, pointing to Finland, says sarcastically, "Isn't he fighting for democracy? Ha, Ha!" On the other side of the ring, President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Churchill, gazing at Russia, counter, "He's fighting for democracy." When Russia attacked little Finland in 1940, the sympathies of the Allied world lay with the brave Finns. But after Germany attacked Russia in June 1941, Britain and the United States viewed Russia as a full-fledged ally and had little sympathy for Finland when it announced on June 26 that it was renewing its war with Russia on the side of the Germans. |
