Good afternoon.
Looking for Finnish aerial photography of the Karelian Isthmus of the 1930s and 1940s. I only saw it on the website http://timomeriluoto.kapsi.fi/ . Maybe there is somewhere else. I will be grateful for your help.
With respect,

Vast majority of the aerial photographs taken at the Karelian Isthmus during the 1920s onwards, including some 80,000 film negatives, were shipped to the Soviet Union in 1944 and 1945. There are some individual prints at the National Archives of Finland, but the whereabout of the original negatives and prints is still unknown.
