	Vesa Saarikoski: Middle-of-the-roader General Aarne Sihvo (1889-1963) and the interaction between the Finnish armed ...
		Then, during the war years between 1939 and 1944, Sihvo was responsible for Finland's civil defence and as "a soldier of the home front" he was a secondary figure compared to the generals att Mannerheim's headquarters who made the operational plans and the generals who served at the front.
		He was not a war-hero of the stamp of Erik Heinrichs, Paavo Talvela and A. Airo.
		From the above, it will be clear that Sihvo's reputation and image in the military tradition has not been very positive and prominent; on the contrary, it seems to me that his significance has been undervalued.
