‘War junk’ left behind in Finnish Lapland by Germans is valuable cultural heritage to locals

 
 
The experience of the Second World War in Lapland was starkly different from the war experience elsewhere in Finland.

Germans held the frontline in northern Finland from 1941 to 1944, and at the height of their military build-up, there were more German troops and their prisoners of various nationalities than local inhabitants.
