Indeed we did. More accurately though it was the Soviet Union that forced Finland to do so. Germany had been an excellent ally in the war up to that point. Minus Hitlers idiotic plans off course. First Finns just pushed the Germans towards Norway without fighting as they had been brothers in arms. Then happened what I believe this is referencing, which was that the Soviets demanded Finland to take real action against the Germans, at which point Finns decided to conduct an amphibious landing in Tornio. This resulted in actual casualties for Germany which led to escalation of the conflict and pretty much to the hostile attitudes depicted in this meme. Though my information might be flawed in some areas. The meme would be more fitting if Finland was demanding Lappland though. Just an oppinion. :)
