Attention to all Finns! Mr Spoden & Mr Scheer in Finland

[Peter Spoden]

hello our friends in Finland,

Klaus and I were very impressed by the hospitality and friendship the Finns gave us. Guenther Rall was lecturing before in Finland and had told us already.
The Finns had not forgotten that German troops under von der Goltz helped Mannerheim after WW I to reach their independence.
They remembered us about the German flyers in the Kohlmey group in 1944:

But mostly Klaus and I were touched and moved when young Finns after the lectures came to us and thanked us that we had risked our young lives for protection of their hometown Helsinki against Sowjet nightbombers.

Thank you Finns Klaus and Peter

I as a Czech citizen duly agree about opinion of Finns,


I was to Helsinki Model Expo in April (visited also Tikkakoski and Helsinki museums which I fully reccomend) and as soon as I mentioned that I know some pilots from Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey, Finns immediately asked me to give them regards and thanks.

For breakfast or cofee break I reccomend small cafe in Old market hall in Helsinki´s south port close to Esplanada. You will see there nice color paintings signed by Finnish and German aircrews
