I found 3 Finn posters.
The olympic poster I can read, but I don't know (only about) what is the text on 2 posters.

Well, the last one is the poster of the Olympic games which were supposed to be in Helsinki, Finland in 1940 but they were cancelled (and we all know the reason for that, don't we?). Originally These Olympic games should have been in Japan (Tokyo) but due to Japanese military actions in China and Manchuria they were handed over to Finland.

The poster of the Helsinki Olympic Games of 1952 was almost similar to this one (except the dates have been changed and state borders corrected).

Actually finn_poster1.jpg reads "Strengthen the front at home" and not "strong front". Not a big difference maybe but the meaning becomes a bit different.

One more correction: finn_poster1.jpg urges us to build dams for rumours, not voices.

regards,

OK, OK

I barely got through my swedish courses in school.. :oops:

Funny that english is so much easier... propably about much frequent usage of that language.
