Mannerheim, their national hero still to this day, allied with Hitler

No, I haven't. It's a part of the old Finland, the one that we shouldn't idolize. We are multicultural now. Mannerheim had a German mulatto personal driver.

>their greatest 20th century literary work

I was curious because I thought my country hadn't translated it.
I look up and it was translated way back in 1956 as "Croci in Carelia" (Crosses in Karelia) for some reason.

>>213495605 (OP)
I can't read
when I browse 4chan I just guess what people meant by looking at posted pictures and copy paste random bits of text to respond

>>213495887
He loved Poland thoughbeit. He even lived here for a while and spoke a bit of Polish. Many such cases in the Axis and Axis-affilated countries!

>>213499873
Finland is the second world war didn't support any Nazi politics. Mannerheim didn't care what Hilter thought of Poles and said him personally that Finland doesn't have a Jewish question.
When you see people calling out Finland for being a "nazi collaborator" it's just brainrot learned from Xitter retards and Russian bots, and Finns don't fall for that.

The original is very dialect heavy (people from different parts of Finland coming together) so any and all translations are going to suck. It's like trying to translate a book from Cormac McCarthy into any other language, you lose a lot by doing that.

>>213502951
This >>213503518 and the writing of the translation being quite contemporary/millienial if that means something to you, which feels out of place. Basically
>muh immersion
Haven't tried other languages.
