    I was surfing and came across this Russian site with 1,000's of pictures and posters.

    This section is on Finland and has a wrecked Vickers B tank among others

    Babel fish translate it as this:

    For your honour and getewen on! Against the bolsjewisme the waffen ss call.

    I translated geweten by itself and it came out as "conscience."

    So, I am guessing it is "For you honor and conscience on! (or maybe "onward") Against the bolsheviks, the Waffen SS calls you!"

    Those images are pretty neat! Lots of them too! The color ones look a little off(some of them look more like paintings)

    Well, now it´s official. The Red Army captured one of the five WW1 Renault tanks Finland had in use in Winter War...

    I trust these pics have not been published until the last 10-15 years as I cannot believe these would have been published during the USSR period.

    Excellent find! An amazing set of pictures! I especially love the artwork and painting..Oh my.

    I love the design elements of some of the Nazi propaganda posters...interesting use of graphics.

    I need to spend copious amounts of time there for sure.

    Thanks for the link!
