Nazi assistance to Stalin in the 1940 Winter War

“What was the Nazi reaction to the Soviet invasion of Finland? Most historians simply note that Finland was part of the Soviet sphere of influence in the nonaggression agreement, so Germany could not openly oppose Russia. In fact, Germany strongly supported the Soviet attack on Finland. German media simply reproduced as its own stories the Soviet reporting of the Winter War. The Nazis blocked the shipment of arms to the Finns, threatening Sweden (and also Denmark) with war if Sweden allowed transit of arms from the West, and blocking arms from every other nation that tried to help the Finns.”
