THE FINNISH VOLUNTEER BATTALION OF THE WAFFEN SS
by Tieke, Wilhelm
1-247300
Details the Finnish Volunteer Battalion of the Waffen-SS. Its members volunteered and were spirited out of Finland to Germany under watch of the Russians. The Battalion joined the SS-Wiking Division in January 1942 and fought in southern Russia and the Caucasus until its mission ended in April 1943 when it was recalled to the home front. Unlike other legions from various countries, the battalion did not fight until the end of the war, and upon its return home, its soldiers were immediately drafted into the Finnish army and fought against the Soviets. When Finland sued for peace, former Finnish SS-men fought against German troops as they retreated from Finland. Contains 49 black and white illustrations.
