I've read couple books about it.
It was not Finland's "SS batallion", more accurate said there was no finnish SS batallion.
There was finnish Waffen-SS troops however. Theres a big difference between the activities of the SS and the Waffen-SS.
The finnish Waffen-SS soldiers fought just like the others and had no part in any of the attrocities.
I do have a respect for these guys, since they're nothing to be ashamed of. They fought against russians like any other finn in the finnish army and nothing more.
Might have something to do with the fact I do know more about it than you do, with your basic assumptions.
If you do think bad of these finnish troops, then you should be just as well think bad of your own army. They were soldiers like yours.
They did apply Nazi doctrine in Finland Straffo. Look down the page at the breakdown of jews killed by country in paragraph 4:

Let's see.. it estimates there was about 2000 jews at the time and theres a "-" in the number indicating annihilated jews.
So what was your point again?
