    Some photos from Kiestinki, mid-Lapland area where Germans and Finns co-operated. Notice also the dense forest and lots of lakes. Autumn 1941 and later on...

    And now something different.... a bit pricey but definitely worth it...

    Not sure which unit(s) but hopefully find out later...Kotka and Helsinki in some pictures for these German minesweepers and other units...

    Thanx. I try to put as many pics as possible from the albums I buy all the time... :)

    I got some 200 albums from the wartime already, most of them are half decent half civilian, but a couple of them pretty amazing.

    Exactly 75 years ago Winter War ended as The Moscow Peace Treaty went into effect on 13 March 1940.

    Helsingin Sanomat (Finnish Newspaper) published a collection of photos from that date: http://www.hs.fi/kotimaa/a1426140814482

    Cheers Guys!

    Incredibly hard to get pics from the city I live from WW2. Those are the only ones so far and I have been looking for 10 years...
