	Finnish Jaeger troops
		The Jäger troops were volunteers from Finland in Germany trained to Jaegers during World War I.
		Educated as elite troops[?] they were also fit to assume command as officers over the untrained and uneducated troops of the Civil War.
		In the 1920s a long feud between officers with Jäger-background and Finnish officers who had served in the Russian Tsarist army was concluded in favor of the Jägers: Most of the commanders of army corps, divisions and regiments in the Winter War were Jägers.

	Jaegers
		Jaeger troops were first organized in the 18th century, when also some Jaegers participated in the American War of Independence.
		Jaegers became more popular after the Napoleonic Wars, when volunteers of bourgeois background were organized for the resistance against Napoleon's occupation.
		Continuing the earlier traditions, these Jaegers were patriotic volunteers, carrying the costs for their weapons and uniforms by their own means - or with the help of contributions from friends and neighbours, often organized in clubs and leagues.

	Winter_War
		The relationship between the Soviet Union and Finland was tense and frosty—both the two periods of forced russification at the turn of the century, and the legacy of the failed socialist rebellion in Finland contributed to a strong mutual distrust.
		Finnish troops had only to take their own winter clothing in many instances and had spent most of their lives in the forest, as the vast majority of Finns were rural dwellers until the 1950's.
		Finnish immigrants in the United States and Canada returned home, and many volunteers (one of them actor-to-be Christopher Lee) travelled to Finland to join Finland's forces: 1,010 Danes, 895 Norwegians, 372 Ingrians, 346 Finnish expatriates, and 210 volunteers of other nationalities made it to Finland before the war was over.

	Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Finland's position vis-à-vis Germany was already evolving towards that of a protectorate by spring 1918, and the election of Prince Frederick, brother-in-law of William II, German Emperor, was rather thought of as a confirmation of the close relations.
		Governmental archives reveal that the monarchical designation of the king was intended, at least tentatively, to be "Charles I, King of Finland and Karelia, Duke of Åland, Grand Prince of Lapland, Lord of Kaleva and the North" (Kaarle I, Suomen ja Karjalan kuningas, Ahvenanmaan herttua, Lapinmaan suuriruhtinas, Kalevan ja Pohjolan herra).
		In the Finnish election document the prince is called Fredrik Kaarle, but according to conventional wisdom his name as king would have been Väinö I of Finland.

		The White Army profitized on the Finnish Jaeger troops (2,000 man) able to act as instructors and officers, on volontairs from Sweden (1,200 man, of whom a large part officers), and on Finnish officers from the Russian Tsarist units, who returned home after the October Revolution.
		In reality, German troops had made a necessary contribution to the Whites' victory, but for the sake of National Pride, it was important to stress the importance of the White Guards, the basis of the White Army, and of the Finnish Jaegers, the Army's elite.
		After the Continuation War, the Finnish White Guards were disbanded in 1944, as Soviet Union demanded this.

	Informat.io on Finnish Russian War
		This partial healing of the wounds and rifts after the Finnish Civil War (1918), and Finland's language strife, is still referred to as "the Spirit of the Winter War," although it should also be noted that many communists were not allowed to fight in Finland's conscripted army because of their political background.
		Due to Stalin's ethnic paranoia, the vast bulk of the Red Army's troops that fought in the Winter War were taken from the southern regions of the Soviet Union, since it was Stalin's opinion that Russian troops from the area immediately bordering Finland could not be trusted to fight against the Finns.
		On the other hand, Finnish troops had only to wear their own normal winter clothing in many instances and had spent most of their lives in the forest, as the vast majority of Finns were rural dwellers until the 1950s.

		In one case, however, they were accurate: in 1937 a Red Army pamphlet on the Finn Army noted that all Finn troops were experienced skiers trained for combat in cold weather, and that their exercises focused on active defense in the difficult Finn terrain.
		They functioned as reconnaissance and security forces for German Corps.) The 27th Jaegers had served on the Eastern Front in the massive campaigns of maneuver around Tannenburg and the Silurian Lakes, the victories of which led to the fall of the Tsarist Monarchy and the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
