First page contains a hand-written letter to a Mr. Merrick of England from a Mr. Dolaucy of Helsinki dated July 1939. The letter was writtten just before the Nazis became the second largest party in Germany. ... In the July 1932 elections under the Weimar Republic. Soon there after, Finland fought three wars: the Winter War alone against the Soviet Union, the Continuation War with Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union, and the Lapland War against Germany. In the end, Finland managed to defend its independence and democratic constitution but had to cede nearly 10% of its territory, including its second largest city, Viipuri (from 1944 Vyborg), to the USSR.
