Documentation and preservation of German WWII Airfields in Finland
Original language description
In this paper, we discuss the heritage and research potential of Second World War airfields in Fin-land. Our focus is on the airfields used by the German Luftwaffe during the Continuation War andLapland War. The German troops initiated extensive construction projects at various Finnish airfields,leaving a permanent mark on the landscape. During the ensuing Finno-German Lapland War, Ger-man troops annihilated many of their own military installations, including airfields. Today, the ruins ofdemolished German military installations persist around the airfields. Despite their military historicalsignificance, the airfields have been the subject of little academic research. Currently, research pros-pects are threatened by the lack of protection, as the sites are being compromised by looters andmodern land use.
