Herr Scheer, Herr Spoden,
So my thanks for visiting us and giving us a view into your careers and experiences. I'm the journalist who chatted with You gentlemen after the first lecture at Tikkakoski, at the museum. The experience was unforgettable for me, and my friends have praised your "show" highly. I must say that there were many details I had never heard about, and it was fascinating how well you were able to tell about them - even going into the very small details at times.
Unfortunately we were in such a hurry in the end of the interview and the last quick tour at the museum that I completely forgot, in the rush, to give both my own thanks and thanks from people who were not able to come to the lectures to Herr Scheer for his part in the defence of our small country. We are thankful for that.
Unfortunate, even more on personal level, is that I completely forgot to ask for a photo of myself with you two Gentlemen. But at least I got the signatures.
As you Gentlemen noticed, I was hurrying around with a video camera and you'll both receive a DVD of your lecture when I've processed the videos. And printed photographs as well.
Again, many thanks for giving us the honor of listening to You. It was magnificient event.
Kindest regards,
Jukka Kauppinen

PS. If anyone taped the lecture at Helsinki in ANY form, please contact me. I would like to have at least the questions & answers part, for adding it to the compilation DVD. My email is
