I'll speak to a family friend who was in Wiking, he should be able to give me an address for the Division Assocation, If you write to them they should be able to help.

Damn, i only found the "matrikkeli" , the book i ment was the one written by Unto Parvilahti. Im sure someone else has that book also.

The best shot now is to write to the editor of
Der Freiwillige,
MUNIN-Verlag GmbH
Postfach 10 47
54421 Reinsfeld
Deutschland

This is a magazine for former volunteers of the Waffen -SS and they should be able to help as they hold most of the archives.

Best of luck and please let me know if you need any further assistance

I'll have some more info this weekend when i'll get my hands on my grandmom diaries of the days in Austria. There is a lot of photos too i hear, but apparently she also destroyed some of her diaries in the 80´s. Shame. I've already found out she was at a dinnerparty with Himmler and was "forced" to shout 'heil hitler' several times. Amazing stuff, I have to dig more into this, too bad she's not around anymore.

Edit: http://www.geocities.com/pentagon/quarters/2130/pic34 The nurse on left is finnish in SS-Standortlazarett, Vienna, Austria., but she's not my grandmon.

"The nurse Helvi Piekkola and medical Lotta's Helmi Joselin and Anita Venekoski arrived to Wien 15.1.43.They had made 1/2 year contract from January to July 43.They served mainly in SS-Standortlazarett in Währingergürtel 97.But they also took care of wounted Finnish volunteers in hospital in Wiednergürtel 68 and in reserve hospital XVI in Altestrasse 4."

So there were just one nurse and two Lotta, don´t really know whats the difference...

I see picture of Finnish nurse working for Totenkopfbande (spelling?) in book one day. Had cap with death head. Blonde, good looking, worth going to eastern front for.
