Two were bashful
This is one of the largest posed groups of nude Finnish troops that I've seen,
and two of them seem to have been more modest than the rest.
I've noticed the same types in other SA-Kuva photos, and I think you may be right about them being Laplanders, or Sami as they call themselves. The Sami originated in Siberia where Asian influences are strong.
They really are casual...I love it!
ReplyDeleteSomebody said, "Line up for the camera, boys." And they did.
DeleteTwo of the men have lost the lower half of one leg and have a wooden leg. They are amazingly brave to continue fighting.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't noticed that, Thomas. Thanks for pointing it out. There are four total, which leaves me wondering it this was taken outside a hospital.
DeleteTwo of the guys at right resemble the Inuit of North America, so perhaps they are Laplanders?-Dee

DeleteThese are not Finns. They are russian prisoners,.
