Finnish soldier!

With Hitler and Mannerheim you will lose your head!

The Finnish army has already lost more than one hundred and fifty thousand men. Hunger is reaping its terrible harvest in the rear. The democratic rights of the Finnish people are trampled under fascist footing. But now Hitler demands even greater sacrifices from his vassals, and the Manner- and Tannerheim rulers of Finland, who have linked their fate with the fate of Hitler’s tyranny, want to throw the last Finnish men into doomed Hitler’s spring offensive.

What did the Finnish people get from this “alliance” of Finland and Hitler’s bandit gang?

The hitlerists promised to supply Finland with grain, but in reality they exported all food from the country. Finnish peasants now eat seed grain. Spring will come, and there will be nothing to sow. It means that Finland is on the brink of famine. The blood of the Finnish people flows in a stream, but the bloodthirsty vampire Hitler demands new cannon fodder from his Finnish hirelings Mannerheim, Ryti and Tanner.

Finnish soldier! Now your life, the life of your loved ones, as well as the freedom and happiness of your country are at stake. If you want to save yourself, your loved ones and your country from finally becoming victims of the bloody adventurers Hitler and Mannerheim, stand up and make a quick end to their sinister intention to destroy the entire people of Finland. By staying with Mannerheim and Hitler you will lose your head. Only by leaving military service to Mannerheim, returning to your home, or surrendering to the Red Army, will you save your life.

You yourself have weapons in your hands. You are crazy if you don't use it to save yourself. Let Hitler and his Finnish lackeys Manner- and Tannerheim fall! The defeat of Hitler and his henchmen is the salvation and victory of the Finnish people! So overthrow the treacherous government of your country. Take the reins of government into the hands of the people. This way you will be saved from complete destruction.

The codeword is: No more war. Down with Mannerheim!
