Military cooperation between Estonia, Finland and Sweden dates from 1918. When World War II broke out, these accords allowed for the creation of one of the most powerful coastal blockades of the time. Controlling the very narrow Baltic passage between Estonia and Finland, these arrangements in particular allowed them to block the Soviet fleet. Using Soviet military maps and numerous photographic archives after 1944 from Estonia and Finland (the Finnish archives were destroyed by the Anglo-Soviet control commission), Finnish, Estonian, Russian and Swedish historians put into perspective the accounts of the Estonian and Finnish military who took part in these battles to give us a picture of rarely-related events.
