background
Greater Finland includes some or all of the former Finnish territories. The picture contains the borders of Finland according to the Treaty of Tartu and the Paris Peace Accords of 1947 .
The idea of the book was to scientifically demonstrate that East Karelia and Ingermanland are a natural part of Finland due to their geography, history and culture, and to legitimize their integration in Finland after the victory of National Socialist Germany. The new eastern border of Finland was from the Gulf of Finland starting from and about lakes and Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega to Onega Bay in the Onegabucht run White Sea . An unpublished adaptation of the book also contained the residential areas of the Finnish-born Kvenen in the Norwegian province of Finnmark .
The original title of Finland's Habitat was Finland, Geographical and Historical . However, this was changed by the German publisher to better fit the Nazi ideology.
