Finnish Wartime Photograph Archive
Now a massive photo archive of around 160,000 images has been made available online, giving an incredible look into those dynamic years of the country’s history.
The Finnish Wartime Photograph Archive was launched in honor of Finland’s 2013 Veterans Day, and while the site is a bit hard to navigate (search terms must be in Finnish), just wandering through the pages of black-and-white photographs gives a sharp insight into the wintry front lines and civilian home life in Finland’s World War II years, which included the Winter War, fought against the Soviet Union; the Continuation War, where the country joined with Germany to continue the fight against the Soviet Union; and finally the Lapland War, where it then fought Germany.

The Finnish Wartime Photograph Archive was launched in honor of Finlandâ's 2013 Veterans Day, Just absolutely fantastic. There are so many stories behind those photographs, and most of those who could tell them to us are now no longer able to.
