By ANDREW ROBERTS
Mannerheim stepped down as Commander-in-Chief in January 1945 and as Regent-President in March 1946, aged 78. No actions were taken against him by the West for having been Hitler’s ally for three years. Winston Churchill, and every other objective observer, recognized that he was the savior of his country. He acted at a time when Finland was intolerably squeezed between the two most evil and violent totalitarian dictatorships in history.

Churchill and the Baltic, Part 3

By RICHARD M. LANGWORTH
Baltic historians tend to see British prewar policy toward Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in a narrow light. They want to see Britain coldly abandoning the Baltics to Soviet rule and so that is what they find. Churchill however, would resist recognizing the Sovietized Baltic even when it was to his advantage after Russia joined the Allied forces in late 1941 and 1942.
