New book: The Finnish Submachine Gun Suomi M/31


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody,

I just want to let you know that I have written a new book:

The Finnish Submachine Gun Suomi M/31

The "9,00 konepistooli M/31“, most often only tenderly called "Suomi", is one of the best known Finnish weapons of the Second World War. Till today it stands for perfect quality and highest precision. And it taught the Russian invaders the meaning of fear.

This book will give an insight into the history of this extraordinary weapon, from its development via the manufacturing through to its use in Winter War (1939 – 1940), Continuation War (1941 – 1944) and finally in Lapland War (1944 – 1945). It also describes the lesser known variations like the bunker- and tank-Suomi, the magazines and the accessories.

The majority of the wartime photos used in this book were never published before.

I had to look it up and just learned a bit about book binding. I would guess that case bound is still used in the UK as I have found that we have several words that did not remain in use in Americanized English and often times we are not as precise in our terminology. Case bound refers to the type of hard cover binding so it is a more precise term than hardcover.

Michael,
Does your book go into detail to describe manufacture and arsenal markings?

Thanks
Ron
