Proof.
We may replace H' by the corresponding functor between the categories of finite G'-sets and finite G''-sets.
Assume h' : G'' \to G' is injective. Let H'' \subset G'' be an open subgroup. Since the topology on G'' is the induced topology from G' there exists an open subgroup H' \subset G' such that (h')^{-1}(H') \subset H''. Then the desired diagram is
G''/H'' \leftarrow G''/(h')^{-1}(H') \rightarrow G'/H'
Conversely, assume (2) holds for the functor \textit{Finite-}G'\textit{-Sets} \to \textit{Finite-}G''\textit{-Sets}. Let g'' \in \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(h'). Pick any open subgroup H'' \subset G''. By assumption there exists a finite G'-set X' and a diagram
G''/H'' \leftarrow Y'' \rightarrow X'
of G''-sets with the left arrow surjective and the right arrow injective. Since g'' is in the kernel of h' we see that g'' acts trivially on X'. Hence g'' acts trivially on Y'' and hence trivially on G''/H''. Thus g'' \in H''. As this holds for all open subgroups we conclude that g'' is the identity element as desired.
