RE: Finnish Fascist Flyers? - A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words

Wondering what kind of underground resistance may have existed, if any. I know here in the US that some actually sympathized with Germany, including some prominent people. I think that was why they allowed Pearl Harbor to happen because of the split in opinion. Nothing better to solidify a nation than being attacked.

Sort:  

Yes, there was little interest in another war until Pearl Harbor. Parties were split on participation. All one needs to do is bomb a ship or a building to unite the American people and their parties. We're kind of easy like that. We go from anti-war to "hunting down terrrorists" in a heartbeat.

Every country had resistance movements against the Nazis and there were many against the Soviets as well. The role these played in the war is often over indulged in my opinion.
