Perhaps the book really is right. Thanks for the Swedes
I don't think the war material is counted in, the phrase the books uses is "[..]collected to aid Finland[..]" ([..]kerätty Suomen avustamiseksi[..])

EDIT: The last entry of the first post of the thread mentions 33 million crowns, so I think a typo is most likely. Either 50 or 58 million sounds more likely.
