Can you help me I.D these pictures? Thank you

[Forward00]

I would like some help in identifying what division/regiment and what the time period was in these pictures and videos:

(Which Waffen SS Division? - Someplace that has sunshine, what year and where abouts?)

(Are these really Finns?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky-zdHMNFNM ------------------ 0:56 - 1:03?

How do you know that they are 'Mischlinge'?

Do you have any idea on who they could be? It looks like Normandy?

I believe the term is misunderstood. It is not used as "being jewish or not".
It was a term given the "non nordic" finns (nordic finns being those of swedish decent).

I think there´s a misunderstanding about the picture too.
One of the Finnish soldiers is a jew and he received the Iron Cross
for saving some German soldiers (see Leo Skunk).

You'r right Waleed, Leo Skurnik was born in Helsinki (Finland) and was a medical officer (Major I think) in the finnish army

I think that it not be mischlinge but realy finnish jews (or descents of jews)
Finland fought alongside nazi germany during a part of WWII
