HISTORY:
The Finish Continuation War Commemorative Medal 1941-1945 is a Finnish medal awarded to participants in the Continuation War (1941-1945).
The Continuation War supported the view that it was a continuation of the Winter War of 1939-1940 in which Soviet forces invaded Finland. It was an attempt by Finland to regain territory lost at the end of the Winter War and to occupy Russian territory, taking advantage of the German invasion of Russia and acting as a defensive buffer against future incursions.
