Finnish wartime newscast Video archive 1940-44

[Verikauha]

I found this today. They have digitalised old films and are now watchable in internet.
Usual watch time for one video 10-15 minutes, so there is maybe 17 hours made movie time
There is no subtitles, only original Finnish spoken audio.

I started watching from continuation war films, there it starts shows real or set-up combat footage. Lots of interesting little equipment details, with lots of mixed helmets. I also spotted Colt 1911-pistol there in second part.

been watching some of these Aseveljeyden sankarit that was quite interesting that old voice narration is just horrible listen to...
maybe with this day voice and more explaining what's in a pictures and these would be more pleasant to watch...
