If anyone here is still interested...

The Finnish defence forces just launched a site with 170 000 war time photos covering all stages and also the home front. Unsurprisingly initial interest has been high so the servers are slowish at the moment, but you can try checking again at some point. The photos are free to use so maybe we can expect derivative galleries with better indexing and highlights later. The current pile may be tedious to browse. Anyway...
