Approximately 1,200 Finns volunteered for the German Waffen-SS troops in May–June 1941.
About 400 of them had experience from the Winter War and were directly assigned to various units of the SS Wiking Division.
Among the soldiers, 256 were killed, 14 went missing, and 686 were wounded.
The men in the picture are at least from Etelä-Pohjanmaa, but unfortunately, there are no identifications for the image yet.
