This is Masrhal Mannerheim´s railroad car in Mikkeli, Finland. He was Commander in Chief in Finland during Winter War and Continuation War. This wagon was used when Adolf Hitler surprissingly visited at Mannerheim´s 75th birthday, 4 June 1942. Finnish Military Intelligence Agency secretly recorded the conversation. It´s only time where Hitler´s real voice was recorded. Mannerheim didn´t like his visit but we was co-operating against Soviet Union so he just have to tolerate Hitler. Mind you; Finland didn´t take any part of Holocaust.
