Hello,

May I suggest some comments and corrections to your picture captions from Marshal Mannerheim's 75th birthday reception?

The 4th picture right below Mannerheim's coat of arms:

Left: Mannerheim's aide Lt.Col. Ragnar Grönvall right: Lt. Gen. Viljo Einar Tuompo

The 5th picture: left: Gen. Erik Heinrichs, center: Maj. Gen. Ruben Lagus, right: Lt.Gen. Harald Öhquist

Jarl Lindquist = Jarl Lundquist (he was as tall as Mannerheim)

Hans-Jürgen Stumpff arrives 11:15 o'clock, left to him is again Lundquist and Lt.Gen. Right: Lt.Gen. Vú¤inö Valve (he was even taller man than Mannerheim)

Hitler's Focke Wulf FW 200 arrives at 12:30 o'clock, and the Finnish cameramen show the burning gum. But the pilot was not a simple beginner.

It was not the tyre but landing gear's brake plate that overheated and caught fire at landing

Karl Lennart Oesch = Vilho Petter Nenonen, Full General of the Artillery, (his facial features are very similar to Oesch, who was Lt. General at the time)

Wiljo Einar Tuompo = Edvard Hanell

The cameraman is visible at the right side. Who should be him in this list...?
The man facing toward Hitler and saluting is Wipert von Blücher, the German Ambassador to Finland. Hitler totally ignored v. Blücher during his visit to Finland, not responding to the Ambassador's salutations.

Hitler is helped down from the plane by his personal aide Maj. Gen. Rudolf Schmundt

Hitler with Gen. Viljo Tuompo, Gen. Lundquist is in the background

Dietl thanks the promotion, Mannerheim is visible in the background.

See the third man to Dietl's right? He is sargeant Vilho Rú¤ttö, he was the first lower-ranking soldier to receive Mannerheim Cross.

Heinrichs, Hitler, general Edvard Hanell, Mannerheim, Aladár Paasonnen =

Heinrichs, Lt.Gen. Aksel Airo, Mannerheim, Paasonen, and the Marshall's first aide, Lt.Col. Ragnar Grönvall

Ryti greets Hitler, as Ambassador von Blücher stands behind
