I think this, and a few others we have, were taken during the "Continuation War", when Finland was an "ally?" of Germany.

Thank you for those interesting pictures Bruce!

Yes, in fact a German officer. The girls I think are field-artists.

The Finns were allways very clear in stating that they were not allied with Germany. They just fought a separate war against a common enemy.

The first picture is probably later than spring 1940. The second is post June 1941 and in northern Finland.

The Germans operated in N Finland.
