1941 Nazi Photo Book Finnland

NAZI BOOK “HOW FINLAND FIGHTS”

SO KÄMPFTE FINNLAND
(HOW FINLAND FIGHTS)
RARE NAZI BOOK 1941

This is a nice example of the rare 8-1/4 x 10-1/2 inch, 144 page, very heavily illustrated, softcover book So Kämpfte Finnland (How Finland Fights) as published in 1941 by Vikingverlag GmbH in Berlin, Germany.

The book was written by Oberst J.O. Hannula and tells the whole story of the Finnish-Russian war of 1939 and 1940 in German text and pictures.

Maps explain the Soviet sneak attack at the end of November 1939 and big half- and full-page photographs clearly show the unexpectedly fierce resistance of the Fins.

Every aspect of the defense of Finland and the destruction of the Red Army invaders is shown in great detail right down to the German equipment used by the Fins. In the end, the landscape of Finland was littered with the equipment and bloody bodies of the men and women of the Soviet Army and Air Force.

The author has included a short Finnish-German language lesson in order to familiarize German readers with important aspects of the Finnish language. The entire book is made very much in the style of Heinrich Hoffmann photo books of the period.

A rare book in very good condition with the original dust jacket.
