A Good Day.
I found this unique original war diary for the 1. and 2. platoons of the Mortar Company of the 38th Infantry Regiment on a well known Internet Auction site last week. Finnish Winter war (platoon level) war diaries are very rare and (just to be on the safe side) I secured it immediately.
Today it finally arrived safely in the mail.
The war diary covers the time period 13.10.1939-09.04.1940. The mostly very sad and tragic contents will be published as part of a modern conflict archaeology scientific publication in 2024.
Best, Jan
