Alexei22,
Teh link was to a copy of the original order of the day. I don't think that he signed the order personally before it was published. But he did not deny writing it later on so signature does not have any relevance in that respect.
In a text like you quoted it would be pretty unusual to write "fire from automatic and semi-automatic weapons" don't you think? Both types of weapons give possibility to rapid fire. In the first type you just keep the trigger down and the gun rattles, in the latter you have to press the trigger evey time you want to fire. Modern assault riffles have both modes because they have different uses.

PS. With personal hand weapons I mean the personal weapons of the soldier. Machine gun and sub machine gun are usually categorised as the weapon of the "group" not as personal weapons. This regardless of the fact that one of the individuals is the gunner. Usually the gunners personla weapon is a pistol. This practise in my understanding is meant to make it clear that if the gunner is out of the game, the next guy takes the sub machine gun or machine gun.

Do you mean, that Mannerheim preffered to offer ORAL ORDERS instead of WRITTEN and SIGNED ?????
Like Hitler ???? ( as jews states as a "proven fact" ).

The "orders of the day", were rarely signed by Mannerheim's handwriting (which is what Jari was referreing to) before going out to print. Look at these examples:

I don't see how lack of printed signature suddenly would turn something from written to oral. Perhaps you care to explain?
What I have seen none of the orders of the day were personally signed by Mannerheim in printed form. The signed approvals for publishing them can be found from the war archive, I believe. His signatures would be an issue if he had later on denied having anything to do with the orders -but he did not.
Mannerheims orders of the day during WWII were meant to raise the morale of the troops and the population. This was especailly so with the orders of the day given 14.3.1940, June 1941, 11.7.1941 and 16.6.1944.
The first tried to give hope to people in mourning after the Winter War, the two next to raise the fighting spirit before the attack and the last to cast some resolve into the army that was reeling back under the pressure of the Soviet attack.
BTW, in 1918 the orders of the day were more informative and contained info for eample about nominations of staff members.
Oral orders were often given by Mannerheim when there was a crisis situation in the front. For example the order to withdraw to VT line in 1944 was given over phone. Just as the order to withdraw to the VKT line. There was no time for the red tape.

Do you mean the same right to Hitler too ????JariL wrote:

it means nothing, because after "oral" ordering - all of this staff must be written and signed.
Thank you.
For all those, who DO understand english...Aleksei22 wrote:no problems, publish "handwritten" order with sign.JariL wrote: What I have seen none of the orders of the day were personally signed by Mannerheim in printed form.
In general (or always AFAIK) Mannerheim DID NOT personally write the "order of the day"s (at least in the 1939-1945 timeframe).
After he approved it (ie. says "ok" to his adjutant or whoever presented the text), the text was then forwarded for printing. Hence "signed" (with Mannerheim's handwriting) Order of the Day's are pretty hard to come by, at least on the internet.
Or does it seem that someone believes the Order of the Day's were signed by Mannerheim first and then printed by xerox copiers in 1941? Does someone have a funny fixation on signatures?
Cheers,
Sami

You have still not explained what is your point considering the signatures in the orders od the day?

My answer is NON-SIGN ORDERS - are ANONIMUS - so its value - not bigger then list of paper, sorry.
An off-topic quote was removed. Moderator/Steen Ammentorp
:roll: This is complete bollocks! If orders are published on newspaper frontpages with the name of the Commander in Chief, and this happens by the approval of the CinC, then the orders bloody well are not anonymous, regardless of whether the CinC at some stage has signed the paper with the orders or not.Aleksei22 wrote:NON-SIGN ORDERS - are ANONIMUS
You better present something in which Mannerheim himself testifies that he was never given a chance to audit the orders of the day published in his name. And that something also better be personally signed by Mannerheim himself!
