Political development from Moscow peace to Continuation War

Hi!

I'm (re)writing -bit by bit- the Continuation War article in Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation_War ). The political development up to the staff negotiation at the end of May 1941 is finished, and I plan to finish the political development during the next weekend. (I have to return one source to library then. :) )

It would be nice if those with knowledge could check the contents and if native English speakers could check the language of the text.

When I finish that political development, I continue with Finnish offensive...

That's funny - I am also writing an article for Wikipedia (Found the first one pretty biased, one-sided, and lacking vital information) but it won't be ready for some time as I have many more books to finish reading. I have my political topics divided between Ryti, Paasikivi, Blücher, Kivimäki, Molotov, Schulenberg, Tanner and some military leadership topics such as Mannerheim, Heinrichs, Falkenhorst, Waldemar... . Maybe you'll simplify my work if you write a balanced article. :)

I don't know how much help I can be, as the length of the article is already too much, and I haven't even started shooting yet. :D Most likely it will be divided to separate articles in future.

I guess you could help me to achieve proper balance, as I mainly use Finnish books on issue (Jatkosodan historia, Jatkosodan synty, Suomen sota 1941-45, diaries and biographies of key players), although I have access to some translated Soviet documents and books. I try to promote what happened and when and keep synthesis at minimum. I just hope to have more information from inside Soviet side, but I fear it is impossible.

But I have put my finger to several connected articles, so I don't think the help is totally out of question. If you point articles I could check if I can contribute anything.
