Refering to the Continuation War, the lack of proper anti-tank weapons contributed to Soviet breakthrough in the June 1944 offensive. In the Ribbentrop agreement, Germany provided thousands of Panzerfausts (pictured) and Panzershrecks to Finland, along with an infantry division, 1/2 an assault gun brigade, and a Luftwaffe detachment. The Finnish army was then able to counter Soviet heavy tanks and stop the advance in early July of 1944.
This picture is possibly an interpretation of the situation when the Finns could finally fight back against Soviet tanks and hold the line, a comeback or last stand~ in the revelation that all hope was not yet lost.

Lol anon 4 probably thinks the Swastika is related to the Nazis. Spoiler: It's not.

Not to mention that after driving off the Red Army, the Finns promptly kicked some Nazi ass. They're also host to the greatest sniper in the world, one Sïmo Hahya (sorry if I butchered his name), who is credited with 500 kills with an unscoped Mosin Nagant, and at least 200 with his SMG. Red Army protocol for dealing with him was to call artillery down wherever they thought he was. The most it ever did was rip up his jacket. He was finally downed by an explosive round to the jaw. He survived, shot his assailant, hobbled back to camp, then passed out. When he woke up, he wanted to immediately get back in the war. He was denied, on the grounds that the war was over.
