Infantry squad (Finnish)

Description

The infantry squad was the backbone of the Finnish army, and as with the officers a number of soldiers had already served during the 1928 Finnish Civil War and were able to spread their experience to the newer recruits. Equipped with excellent rifles, the Finnish Lahti-Salorata M/26 was less well received as it was prone to jams, heavy and awkward to keep clean. However, it was exceptionally accurate and when maintained correctly, very reliable.

As they encountered Soviet vehicles, many Finnish soldiers were also equipped with improvised anti-tank measures in the form of Molotov cocktails. 

By the time of the Continuation War, the equipment of the squads had improved, and in addition to German grenades, they were also equipped with Panzerfausts to deal with Soviet armour.
