I'm not super well versed in history, but I don't think Finland had much better options at that time, so yeah, it was kinda smart.

The Norwegians were occupied — for some time, but regained their independence. The Swedes stayed neutral. Why do you think aligning with Germany (and losing territories as a result) was the best option?

Of course in hindsight it wasn't, but that's not something you'd know at the time.
