  • 1 Partial Translation from the Book: Air Force Participation in the Finnish
    Partial translation from the book: Air Force Participation in the Finnish War of Independence in Year 1918 by Aarne Bremer, 1934 Translated by Seppo Koivisto, 2.2.1999; updated 18.5.1999, 15.5.2004 Chapter II. German Air Activity in Finland 1918 (pages 170-202) Initial Phase of Getting Aid (page 170) The greatest aid, that Finland received already in the preparatory stages and then during the war, came from Germany. Already in autumn 1917 arms shipments came from there to arm the home defence. During the Independence War large amounts of arms and ammunition were further bought from Germany.

When the red danger was continuously worsening in Southern Finland, made Councillor of State Hjelt, a Finn that had greatest influence in Germany, his best to get aid to Finland. (Edvard Hjelt, 1855-1921, was an active and sometimes arbitrary representative of the Finnish Senate in Germany. He for instance issued a Finnish passport in false name to General Ludendorf after his resignation.) On February 11th the peace negotiations between Germany and Russia at Brest-Litovski were interrupted. By threatening St. Petersburg from Finland, Germany would force Russia swiftly for final conclusion of peace. For this Germany would not need large forces, just so much that the white Finland would win. German high command asked councillor of state Hjelt to send an urgent request for armed assistance. Councillor of State Hjelt saw, that he could fulfil this request, as he had received a telegram from Councillor of State A.
