About the book >.>.> Unlike other legions from various countries the battalion did not fight until the end of the war. In fact upon its return home its soldiers were immediately drafted into the Finn- ish army and fought against the Soviets. When Finland sued for peace former Finnish SS-men fought against German troops as they retreated from Finland. 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. Its soldiers badly needed on the home front it was recalled due to intense pressure from the Finnish govern- ment. The battalion served with great sacrifice and proved itself worthy of being a part of one of Germany’s elite divisions. De- spite the language barrier its soldiers adapted well and fought bravely shoulder to shoulder with their German comrades-in- arms. Long-overdue their story is now told in this volume. (SP)
