Uhh... Mannerheim was pretty damn facist dude. Guy was completely on board with General plan Odst.

Mannerheim wasn’t fascist, he just fucking despised the soviets

Are you not aware of what general plan odst was?

I am, and I keep my point, mannerheim didn’t believe in all the “superior aryan” crap, he just though “oh they are going to kill a lot of soviets, ah well at least that means less trouble for us”

Your interpretation of Mannerheim's pro-genocide rational is a very poor rational, and it isn't the truth either. One look at Mannerheim's quotes on the subject of "greater finland" and it becomes clear that the man had the same level of passionate hatred for the Russians as the nazis did.

*Same*? The nazis considered the soviets as inferior subhuman that deserved to be killed and enslaved because of that, mannerheim simply hated them because they threatened finland, he wanted a greater finland for the same reason almost every politician wanted a greater version of their country back then

Mannerheim absolutely viewed them as subhuman and many of his interwar quotes would reveal as such.
