File of fallen soldiers during the Second World War in Finland (1939-1945)

File of fallen soldiers during the Second World War in Finland (1939-1945) Click here for search of person In 1985, the Finnish War Veterans' Association started to collect a file of those fallen during the Second World War in Finland (1939-1945). The association delivered the file to the Military Archives in 1991. Firstly, the aim was to compile an index of the graves of fallen soldiers. A more extensive collection of data on soldiers fallen in the war was started at a later stage. Due to the primary use, the file includes data on approximately 1,500 soldiers buried in the graveyards and persons who died later after the Second World War. It is possible that fallen soldiers whose graves are unknown are not included in the file.

The systematic additions to the file ended on 31 December 1997 as the funding of the project ended. The file is partly unfinished and includes unchecked data. The Military Archives are not responsible for the validity, coverage or applicability of the data regarding the desired use. If you intend to use unchecked data as a source in scientific research, it is advisable to get first in touch with the Military Archives.

Please inform the Military Archives of deficiencies and faults in the file (see: http://www.sota-arkisto.fi/englanti/). The corrections you wish to make must be proven correct, for instance, with an official certificate.
