Military Maps of Finland 1941

[SchnellMeyer]

I am looking for copies of German/Finnish military maps for the battle of Salla in late June 1941 and also the operations around Kairala and Alakurtti in mid August. I would be most grateful for any help, thanks.

Have you Googled?

[SchnellMeyer]

Yes, I have tried Google but have found nothing on what I am looking for yet sadly. Thanks for your reply to my post

Try the Perry-Castaneda Collection at UTexas?

Ok, thanks for the tip

When studying the battle of Tolvajärvi, I made use of Soviet maps of Karelia made after the war. These can be found by searching on the phrase "Карта Карелии" ("Karta Karelii"). The place names and such are in Russian. However, you can cross-reference them using Google map, which provides place names in the Karelian language, which is similar to Finnish, and maps that you might find in sources that look at the war from the Finnish point of view.

You may also want to post a query in the section of this forum devoted to Finland. The people there know much more than I.

Good hunting!
