Jarl F. Lundqvist - better FAF commander than his reputation?

[Juha Tompuri]

Is Lorentz´s "Iskuja Ilmaan" totally objective about Lundqvist or about HQ chief Risto Pajari?

I think that Lorentz there is not totally objective.

Lorenz fails to explain convincingly why Mannerheim did not remove the "disease" which Lundqvist was for the FAF. Lorenz makes just shallow statements that Lundqvist had "powerful supporters" and that FAF personnal was so loyal to its (incompetent) commander that no one was telling his incompetence to Marshall.

Lorentz writes there, as you mention, that Mannerheim was not aware of Lundqvist problems.

why Lorenz was so critical on Lundqvist and on what grounds? Up to what point Lorenz was right and his criticism justified?

Perhaps the criticism originates from the Lundqvist training (or the lack of it) and Lundqvist personal abilities (or the lack of them).
