You are right. Finland was not a very enthusiastic ally for the Germans. They have recovered the territories taken by the Soviets after the Winter War and then stopped!
However, as soon as they got a peace threaty with Stalin they have dealt very swiftly with the German forces in Finland!
There are numerous jokes about some countries as allies vs. foes. I would always prefer to have the Finns as allies, not as enemies
