The standard historical presentation of WWII can be epitomised as a narrative about a clash between good and evil in which victory is rightfully won by the good. That standard was cast into serious doubt in 2005 by Finnish historian Erkki Hautamäki, whose research was based on documents originating from secret dossier S-32 of Finnish Marshal, Carl Gustav Emil Mannerheim.1 The documents of the dossier originated from the two different sources. First, they represented the documents of German officials, including a personal letter by Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring and Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop to the Commanderin-Chief of the Finnish armed forces C. G. E. Mannerheim. Enclosed as well was a photo-copy of a SovietBritish secret military agreement which was signed by Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. The agreement was furnished with detailed plans of its implementation. Second, the dossier contained information given by Oberst Paul Grassmann to Vilho Tahvanainen.

In the absence of the original documents the question of reliability of Hautamäki’s sources inevitably rises. All the more because they offer some pivotally important information for the existing understanding of the diplomatic prelude of WWII. Perhaps the most startling allegation of his study is that on 15 October 1939 a British-Soviet secret agreement was signed about military cooperation against Germany. That was less than two months after the conclusion of the Molotov–Ribbentrop pact between Germany and the Soviets, which opened the gates for the war in Europe.

According to Hautamäki, the agreement entitled the Soviets to occupy Finland, the Baltic countries and a part of Sweden and Norway.2 If this statement were proven to be true, our current understanding of the causes and respective roles of the principal participants of WW II would need to be corrected with all the political, legal and moral consequences ensuing from it. Naturally, the text of the original agreement was not at Hautamäki’s disposal. The original text of the agreement, if it really exists, has most likely been hidden in the secret archives of Russia and Great Britain. Considering the alleged content of such an agreement, it is no wonder why “the watchdogs are barking and howling around it”,3 making the agreement inaccessible for impartial researchers.

Erkki Hautamäki revealed in his book entitled "Finland, in the eye of the storm", the contents of the secret file S-32.

important dates:

23.08.1939 Hitler sends Ribentrop to stipulate the NON AGGRESSION pact with Molotov. Lipski meanwhile not responds (because already in agreement with Great Britain and France) to the requests to be able to launch a peace proposal and solve the problems of the GERMAN MINORITIES (3500000 + 7300000 of Sudeten in the “Arlecchino” State).

15.10.1939 date of the initial agreement, at least verbal, between Churchill (not yet a minister) and Stalin.

The agreement provided for the total destruction of Germany, both from a military and an economic point of view (Hitler had become the biggest OPPOSITOR of the Federal Reserve system).

30.11.1939 The Soviet Union attacks Finland. The winter war begins, known as the RUSSIAN-FINNISH war.

09.02.1940 The luftwaffe intercepts a plane that took off from London and headed for Moscow. During the inspection of the aircraft and all the crew, they come photographed a series of documents, which will end up in the hands of the Führer. Among the various documents, they will also find the text of the agreement, part of the S-32 file.

The agreement contains the following instructions:

1) A massive share of the Soviet Red Army troops was supposed to JOIN the French and English troops, which were to occupy NORWAY and DENMARK. Stalin would then have intensified his troops in the east, near East Prussia (since he had already invaded Poland, up to the course of the Vistula) 2) Occupation of the Baltic republics 3) Establish a Soviet post also in Finland

March 1940 Hitler understands the deception and informs General Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim. The British and the French promise to send troops to Finland, so to counter the Soviet advance. Mannerheim orders the Finnish government (Prime Minister Hansson) NOT to accept aid and instead orders to immediately negotiate peace with Moscow. Stalin accepts peace, albeit close to winning the Winter War

(Germany had threatened Stalin that he would bomb Soviet troops in Finland if he didn't sign.)

Hitler occupies Norway and Denmark, in order to prevent the occupation of the Scandinavian territories by the Allies (thanks to file S-32).
