On 31 July 1940, the Nazi-German leader Adolf Hitler gave the order to start planning an assault on the Soviet Union. This meant that nazis had to re-assess the positions of both Finland and Romania.
Under the changed situation, Vyacheslav Molotov (Minister of Foreign Affairs and First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union) made a visit to Berlin on 12–13 November 1940. He wanted Germany to withdraw its troops from Finland and stop enabling Finnish anti-Soviet sentiments. Molotov remembered also reminded the Germans of the 1939 Soviet–German non-aggression pact.
This pact was had been canceled with the Moscow Peace Treaty (on 12 March 1940). It was not a fake peace.
It was on 23 August 1939, the Soviet Union and Germany signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact where parties divided the independent countries of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania into spheres of interest, with Finland falling to the Soviet sphere of interest.
Becouse Molotov knew ther were a conspiracy by Axis Powers going on against Soviet Union,
he wanted testing reactionsa and asked about Finland situation.
Hitler was not stupid, he got the idea telling story how he did save Finland.
A friend of mine, who has studied the secret archives of the United States, says that there were very heavy interpretation mistakes made by with on intelligence information, during the time the so-called Continuation War below. Our leaders did not respect the peace in Moscow: The Moscow Peace Treaty was signed by Finland and the Soviet Union on 12 March 1940.
In Finland, the information from that one period is in hiding, for example, the Mannerheim´s folder on the S-32, which was handed over from Sweden to Finland in 2001.
