The "official" study by the Finnish National Archive of whether Finnish #WaffenSS volunteers participated in genocides, war crimes, and other atrocities is now ready. It is about as grim reading as can be expected. 1/3 
The main issue when investigating the question is that the Finnish participation was rather limited, so that while it is possible to tie SS-Division #Wiking to numerous atrocities, nailing down Finnish participation is harder. 2/3
In general, Finnish soldiers seems to have found the German #Antisemitism strange or downright evil. The attitude towards POW's was significantly worse. In the end some atrocities are proven, with many more likely having been committed. #Leastweforget 3/3
