But it is all about America!

I really just wish they'd make a live action take on The Legend of Koizumi instead.

You realise fighting fictional space nazis doesn't make up for your rampant actual helping the nazis.

No man, you've got it all wrong. We were just playing the game man, we didn't actually ally with Nazi Germany just like sort of.

They'd need CG Rendering for the Super Aryan.

I'd say Finnish alliance with Nazi Germany was mostly about throwing back the Soviet invaders who honestly had no reason to be there. Finland would probably have stayed neutral if the Soviets (who were the ones allied with the Nazis at the time) hadn't invaded them. Then eventually they had to fight the Nazis themselves, too, so I'd say it was mostly about survival. Actually kind of Byzantine how they played those two superpowers against each other for so long.

But no one liked the Byzantines either.

WWII is actually known as three linked conflicts in Finland. The Winter War 1939-1940, The Continuation War 1941-1944 and the Lapland War 1944-1945. The last one know as such because almost all German troops in Finland were situated in the north. The conflict started on friendly terms at first: Finnish commanders would let the German commanders know the exact time of when Finnish troops were going to march in and reclaim the area and the German troops would be gone before then, most of the time. This was until the Soviet Union pressured Finland by stating that if things wouldn't speed up they'd be forced to send their own troops to assist. After that it became all out war and the Germans burned most of the towns and villages they left behind.

This is partly true, but like there was no mastermind plan. The situation changed and Finland had to change accordingly. We weren't exactly in a position to influence anyone much.

I am interested in going to see this indie production. The trailer was pretty awesome. Anyone else interested in paying to go see this one?

Feels a little like cowboys and aliens minus the taking itself seriously that everyone said ruined cowboys and aliens.

I kept expecting to see a Hitler clone or half-cyborg Hitler or something. I feel like the concept of Space Nazis is incomplete without something like that.
