 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thorough, detailed article. Length, date, and hook verified. I did not find any close paraphrasing in the article. Symbol question.svg My only concern is that "The Jäger Movement consisted of Finnish volunteers trained in Germany to take part in action on the northern part of the eastern front" is sourced to page 161 of https://www.doria.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/67001/ahlback_anders.pdf but does not seem to be verified there.
