Lost rifles?[edit]

This bit is unclear. He was barred from doing weapons designs because 30 rifles were lost? This needs to be expanded and clarified as the current description makes little sense. --Lendorien 14:26, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the book anymore available atm, but as far as I remember, he was designing those assault rifles, and 30 of them could not be found from anywhere. The Soviets then of course suspected, he had given them to the people who were preparing a guerrilla warfare against the Soviets if they had occupied Finland. See Weapons Cache Case, a lot of weapons were hidden to places for possible guerrilla warfare. --Pudeo (Talk) 19:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
