Notes

Volunteers from Estonia fought in Finland during the Second World War for the freedom of Finland and the honor of Estonia, battling against the Red Army, but not under the Nazi German flag. After their return home they became widely called the Soomepoisid, or Finnish Boys. This name still lives on for them today even though the last Finnish Boy living in Estonia passed away in 2024. A total of over 3500 Estonians fought for Finland. Some of the Finnish Boys also fought against the Soviet Union in Estonia in 1944, giving hope that Estonia would regain its independence
