Wrong, GB. Like you continue to be on the overall topic.

Lend-Lease allowed them extra resources, which enabled better supply and quicker re-supply. Many cases, easier to use what it sent for their means. But by no means were they dependent on it, or needed it. All it meant was that they could advance further, more often. Without it, they would be a few months behind otl.

Germans came up with the idea, and almost none in the Finnish High Command wanted to do it. The only area where they really involved themselves outside of lost territory was East Karelia, which they claimed anyway. As for Mannerheim, the only time he did anything like that was under orders from the Finnish president. It was Finnish government policy to take what they claimed and what was taken from them. They even attempted to peace out numerous times for what had been taken from them, and kept up relations with the West until forced out of it by the West.

Sealion is outright impossible. Ireland is further away, with the same problems. Three guesses how that goes. Give you a hint: worse than Sealion. Germans could plan all they wanted, didn't mean squat.
