Hello
Does anybody know what kind military training courses Germans give to Finnish white troops after the landing in Helsinki. I have a faint memory that Baltic Sea Division established some kind of kampfschule in Töölö area in Helsinki ?
What about 27 jäger batallion. Does they have some special courses after the basic training. I dont mean separate machine gun or artillery courses but some specialised sapper training ( "IED" use ).
Anybody have any information about these subjects ?

Question about Germans in Finland 1918
Re: Question about Germans in Finland 1918
In fact the Germans had some sort of Kampfschule in Töölö in Helsinki. Later it was a finnish army garrison and then Töölö grammar school and city library. Presently the site has two big hotels - Intercontinental and Hesperia.
The real Jäger education was given in Germany in Hochen-Lochstedt. There are still signs of the finns to be seen in the Lockstedt Lager and even a monument has been raised.
