      The National Defence University´s Library answered to your question and gave a list of references below. Most of the source books on the subject are available only in Finnish. However, in Kari Kuusela´s book there is a short chapter in English about German Assault Gun Brigade seconded to the Finnish Army during the Battle of Tali-Ihantala. I hope you find these books useful! Käkelä, Erkki. Laguksen rynnäkkötykit : rynnäkkötykkipataljoona 1943-1944 / Erkki Käkelä. Porvoo ; WSOY, 1996. ISBN...24.8.2010 12:50Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

      It took Finland 8 years to deliver the war reparation goods to the Soviet Union. Newspaper link below contains all the essential information concerning the topic. http://www2.hs.fi/english/archive/news.asp?id=20020903IE12 Suffice it to say that when the Soviets and the Finns signed the formal reparations agreement on December 17th 1944, it was set at $300 million based on the dollar’s 1938 value. Initially the period of payment was to be six years but already in the fall of 1945, the Soviet...30.7.2009 12:19Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

      Hi,I see a guard standing daily (rain or shine) outside a light blue building...
      Hi! Main guard (Päävartio) for finnish defence forces. It's ok to take photos or at least many tourists do. The change of guard is quite boring and not as flashy as for example the british counterpart. On coldest wintertime the watch person is inside looking out from the window.19.4.2006 15:33

      Where is Osama Bin Laden?
      Thank you for your confidence in our ability to find information! Since it is not known where Usama bin Laden is, we cannot answer your question. While bin Laden's current whereabouts are unknown, the most popular assumption is that he is hiding in Pakistan's tribal region of Waziristan bordering Afghanistan, or, more specifically, near the small Pakistani market town of Chitral [1], [2]. If bin Laden is in Pakistan, it is possible that he benefits from local support by the Waziri. With the...31.1.2006 21:56Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto
