Any hints?

Okay, a hint:
This unit was named after it's commander, a navy lieutnant commander (kapteeniluutnantti in finnish), who later served as a flottilla leader of VMV-boats, retired navy as commodore and became later a head of Finnish Maritime Administration.

Sorry, I thought that this was easy...

Maybe Detachment Jääsalo?

Hi Juha!

Yes, Detachment Jääsalo is correct answer.
I think this "homemade" little unit had some importance, because it performed many tasks and it could free at least some "proper" warships to do more important jobs?'
Your turn Juha!

A mortar round flew on it?

A mortar round flew on it?

Sorry, but no.
The case was sort of self-inflicted.

Yes, Stielgranate 41 malfunction.

Hmmm... if you would just named the Stielgranate 41 as the reason for the accident, I would have accepted your answer, but as AFAIK the exact reason for it remains unknown... even your answer sounds very logical...so... based on the info I have at the moment, I pass the priviledge of composing the next question to Alexander.

Which troops wore this insignia?

[Juha Tompuri]

I think peeved can have his "revenge" here.

I think that this badge means Railway AA troops. Rautatie ItKKJ and Ilmatorjuntajuna.

With best, J-P

Well done!

If others don't mind, I think peeved should be next.

Thanks,

But no thanks. By right it's J-P's turn.
