(University of Helsinki) During the Second World War, the number of Germans and their prisoners in Finnish Lapland exceeded, at its height, that of the local population. The Germans left behind a great deal of material that, outside Lapland, has been considered 'war junk'. In Lapland, however, it is seen as an integral part of the region's cultural heritage. Opposing views on the relationship between nature and culture have been pitted against each other.
