Finland-assisted moon colony

Of course, this is old news to most of you, but recent discussions reminded me of a film project still in the making: The Iron Sky, made by Finnish director Timo Vuorensola. The original title, by the way, is Rautataivas. However scary, yet fascinating, the plot itself is very simple, really. And, as usual, I turn to Wikipedia for support:

As World War II comes to an end in 1945, Hans Kammler and other German scientists make a breakthrough in anti-gravity research. Nazi spaceships are sent to the “dark side” of the Moon to found the military base Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun). Their plan is to build a powerful fleet and return to conquer Earth. The film is set in the year 2018 when their descendants finally return.

So far all is well, but what really trigged me, was the obvious need to defend Finland’s siding with Nazi Germany during WW2 (see comments), and, once I remembered Vuorensola’s film project, I simply couldn’t help but thinking if maybe there’s still a fascination for the olden days’ ally in Finland, after all. Of course, I couldn’t say for sure, but the thought struck me as interesting.

Be that as it may. It’s movie time:

Then again, the Americans grabbed Werner von Braun right in front of their noses, didn’t they. Flew them to the moon, too, like a Frank Sinatra. Oh, the irony…

Dear Finnish friends: I truly hope you won’t take offence. I simply cannot help myself, sometimes.
