Gibt es Bücher über den Finnischen Krieg von 1808, in denen von den persönlichen Erfahrungen der Soldaten mit den Schlachten und Kämpfen die Rede ist?

    That war has surprisingly miniature memory print in our national memory. Even in school it’s just a brief mention that it happened, maybe how the commander of Suomenlinna surrendered. I’d say even the hakkapeliitta of the 30 year war are more significant to us, not to mention all the travails of 20th century.

    I don’t think there’s an entire book but there’s sometimes anecdotes about how the officers felt in other books but the ones I’ve read aren’t really about combat. I’m not sure if there’re any from the common soldiers. Or if there is it might be really old. 

    There’s a collection of money for the veterans of the war around mid 1800’s so there could be newspaper interviews of something related to that. 

    Otherwise folk poetry might be the best source for how common people felt about wars. Iirc Paavo Korhonen aka Vihta-Paavo wrote one poem about the finnish war but not really about the combat.
