Oh come on, we finns had almost nothing to do in the eastern front! We took back our lands and a bit extra only because of Stalin's idiocy. Our goal was to gain back the lost land and not being thought as an axis member, which is why we never took part in the siege of Leningrad even when the germans asked for it.

You say USSR was alone? How about Poland, France or Yugoslavia then? We might even count Great Britain to that too. They were completely alone, Poland even more with war on two fronts. Brits ran off to their own island in Dunkirk while the french needed assistance more than ever. Yugoslavia tried to be friend of the both sides, very much like every other country that hadn't been invaded by the axis or commintern (the communist side). But still they stood alone against war on every meter of their border at the end of it. The brits stood alone for a long time until the americans decided to actually do something else than give out few WWI-era rusted planes and guns.

Alot of people don't even know the war in the Pacific because everyone concentrates on Europe. I for once have said many times on how U.S. totally abandoned China when China requested aid against japanese and Mao's communist rebels. This was after U.S. had recaptured Philippines and the british were advancing in Burma.

I'd like to specify a bit what MOaP just said there, RAF actually destroyed a large part of the german navy in Hamburg or some other harbour near the area. But then again, RAF had orders to bomb non-vital targets but those attacks were done only to train the pilots and see how german people would react to the bombings. And the americans did gain some help from the dutch too. That's how ABDA (American-British-Dutch-Australian Command) came to be, even though it was completely flawed in the beginning of the defensive.
