Leave it to Larry to find an SA-Kuva photo that I had never seen before. The note attached said: "1941-06-20-Vilppula-Matti Niherjuuri." I think his name was Matti Vilppula, but the last
word in the note does not show up on Google. Maybe it's in Russia now. I have this
bizarre fantasy that Matti is leading a Finnish Army Sunday service's hymn singing
in the nude, but the cigarette in his hand makes me think otherwise.
Google says it was a Friday...FORESKIN FRIDAY!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI did some digging. His name is Matti Viherjuuri (I had a typo in the name, sorry!) and the location is Vilppula, Finland. More info about him (in Finnish) on this page: https://www.sotapolku.fi/henkilot/viherjuuri_matti-mauritsi_19.05.1912_helsinki/
