The Finnish National Archives study which started a year ago on request by the Simon Wiesenthal Center on possible atrocities committed by Finnish SS-volunteers serving in SS-Wiking has now been released.

The study found several instances where individual Finnish SS-troops killed jews, civilians and/or Russian POWs. How widespread Finnish participation was remains unclear.
