Finnish unit insignias

[subskipper]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a website or book(s) with pictures of insignias used by the Finnish armed forces? I''m primarily looking for air force and army insignias.

Actually I was refering to the unit specific insignias, not rank insignias. But thanks anyway.

Humm... That would be difficult. I have no idea if someone has gathered all those insignias together. And do you mean insignia today or at some point in history?

I do have one book where is unit flags etc. but its from 60´s and Im not sure are those flags of 60´s or are those been unchanged since WW2 or time before it. Check your email soon.

Tiwaz and the rest,

I'm mainly looking for the ww2 ones. All I know is that some of the commemorative medals for the various army divisions had a insignia engraved on them. The 8th division for example had three swords, and I was just womdering if these insignias were used in ww2 by the units, or if they were made up for the medals only.
