A nice site (a bit spoiled by irritating wallpaper) in English. Good pictures and technical data of aircraft that have served with the Finnish Airforce, including several rarities. There is a brief, but informative, page on the use of the swastika as a Finnish symbol. The museum itself is well worth a visit and full directions are given.

A good timeline, with a few pictures.

There seems no good reason why this site should exist where it does and it simply shows a rather good photograph of a 76- itk-31-type AAA gun which operated on Myllykallio hill in Lauttasaari, in 1944, and is now preserved there as a monument.

Covers the whole history of the FAF. Good graphics and a list of reference books.

A very comprehensive site with good maps. Unfortunately the site is a bit chaotic. However, the information is there.

Covers the Finnish Army in the whole of WWII. The timeline probably cannot be bettered and the site is packed with technical and statistical data. Readability is sometimes marred by a peculiar blue stripe down the left side of some pages.

Unbelievably ugly site but if you are looking for documents, this is the place to start. Admire the rhetoric in the propaganda leaflets dropped by the Soviets: Down with the bloody henchmen of the people, the renegade gang of Mannerheim, Tanner, Ryti!

Lots of pictures from the Parola Armour Museum but of varying quality. A few pictures of fixed fortifications.

An unofficial page for the Parola Armour Museum but mostly using official photographs. Very high quality and worth a visit.

Official site of Finnish Armour guild and Armour museum. In Finnish and apparently under construction.

Dedicated to the Finnish Armed Forces in WWII. Very good pictures of armour and infantry equipment, well laid out.

Very comprehensive site with pictures of fighter aircraft and papers on tactics during the Winter and Continuation Wars.

Beautifully produced site, in several languages. Some of the other Finnish sites should take lessons from here. The title tells you all you need to know.

Almost none of the topics listed have actually been implemented: if they were, this would be an outstanding site. The section on Finnish Military Decorations is interesting.

Utterly useless: none of the links work.

Very good, with superb pictures. Perhaps a little biased for my taste - but then, I'm biased.

One of the few sites covering Finnish naval forces. Well illustrated with pictures from the author's grandfather's collection. Covers an enormous amount of ground, often leaving the reader hungry for more detail.

The "official" guide, published by the University of Turku. Not as good as the version given here, but a very good aerial photo of the island.

An enormous site: the author clearly hasn't yet grasped the concept of splitting a document into pages. If you can wait long enough for it to load there might be something interesting in the WWII section.

Seems to be only for owners of Mosin Nagant rifles - or perhaps I'm missing something?

All you ever wanted to know - and more - about the famous Finnish sub-machine gun.

Comprehensive and informative but a pity the pictures aren't in better focus.

In Finnish. Mostly a list of names and dates.

What it says.

In Finnish. An official guide to one of the very few front-line fortifications that has been preserved intact - in this case, facing the occupying Soviet troops in the Hanko peninsula. Relative to the material that is available in this fascinating museum (which is mostly closed), the site is disappointing

Made by pupils of a secondary school in Jyväskylä, Finland, the english version of these pages is under construction. This looks as if it will be very good when it is finished and has lots of good, high-quality contemporary photos - probably from Army archives. One of the few siteswith a section devoted to the "LOTTA SVÄRD", the Finnish women's auxiliaries who played a vital part in WWII. Some pages are rather slow to load and you'll have to guess what the Finnish means, but definitely worth a visit.

In Finnish. Almost entirely text. A great pity that there is no English version because the content is excellent. Some maps would help.

In Finnish. Short, but with audio.

Another web author who hasn't heard of pages: very slow to load but worth it. Personal story of 1st Lieutenant Kauko Aho, with many illustrations. Definitely worth a visit.

Very strange.

In Swedish. A few pictures.

The Swedish volunteer aviation unit in Finland during the Winter War. Brief history with additional links.

The battle for Suomussalmi, 7 Dec 1939 to 8 Jan 1940. Good-ish, if a bit romanticised, factual account.

Very good accounts of the battles of Suomussalmi and the Raate Road, with a few pictures.

Brief history and comprehensive bibliography.

Lithuanian Aviation Museum

A potentially interesting site, almost entirely "under construction". Slightly spoiled by some indifferent graphics and icons. No doubt it will improve as they get more money and experience. An English version of some pages is available but the Union Flag icon is very difficult to spot because of its peculiar colours: usually, it is below the picture in the top left corner.
