Even if it's a war going on, you have get some booze:


(SA-Kuva)

Helsinki, 3 July 1941

Foreignors stealing our women:



A woman as a tram driver! That was a sight to see in 1941:



The Russian take on Turku urban planning:









But it's never wrong to enjoy a beautiful day if you can:









Russian desant Aron Taub enjoying possibly his last day in this world:


And always time for the kids:





And the girls of course:


Ukrainian deserters singing the Ukrainian national anthem in a POW camp:



Three nationalities, German, Finn and Russian having a smoke and conversing in peace:



Why haven't I earlier watched these pictures, there are some amazing ones?

Yeah, I'm very interested in the Winter War and Finland's part in WWII. Mannheim seemed a very good leader (from what i've read) and the fact that Finland never really allied with Germany and only ever retrieved the land they lost in the Winter War, I believe this is one of the fairest decisions in the war. You probably know this Ariete but the only time Hitler has ever smiled was recorded with Mannheim which is very strange.

Still a lot of area to be built in the Jätkäsaari district of Helsinki:

Looks like a war zone.

That looks like fun, why didn't you participate? It'd be a great way to meet hot chicks.

On another note, why do people get worked up into knots over what I know is a very legitimate complaint?

I'll never back down though, since I know I'm in the right, and they're wrong.

It's a wonder anyone in the UK would even care about US football. Or is it just the expat Americans that are going to these games?

Kinda silly for us over here, considering they start the games at 9:30 am our time.

Apparently NFL events have been quite successful in the UK, I never knew American football had a following overseas until last year's UK game(s).

they have - but it's still quite a low-key event and doesn't really garner much in the way of national exposure or airtime. the stadium is usually quite full though.

Jacksonville has a deal to play one game each season in London through the year 2020. It seems they have gained popularity and there is even a Jaguars fan club in England.

The United Kingdom is 4 hours ahead of the USA for the next week so the games are actually at 10am.

They could reschedule the games to 6pm GMT if necessary.
