Munsalasocialismen 1918-1945 Elävä arkisto yle.fi
I found this documentary by chance one day. I showed it to my Dad and he was most excited as he knew almost all of the people being interviewed. I believe that probably all of them have passed away now. He also said that he was one of the kids who had been blamed for walking into the 'hide-out" although they had not done so. The town had strong socialist beliefs and did not want to support the Germans during the Second World War. While they did not believe in what Russia stood for, they could not condone the actions of the Fascists either. The documentary is in Swedish (well, Finn-Swede which is a dialect). I thought I'd put it out there. There are two versions of the video listed. The 33 minute one is the better one. By the way, believe it or not, the interviews were done in the mid l970's in the town. As late as the late l960's, some homes here still did not have indoor plumbing. Even in the winter one would have to go outside to use the outhouse.
