Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim
Marsalkka Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (1867-1951) was a prominent Finnish military leader and statesman, best known for his role as the Commander-in-Chief of the Finnish Defense Forces during World War II. Mannerheim has been a controversial figure in Finnish history, often regarded as a national hero for his defense of Finland against Soviet aggression. However, recent analyses of his private correspondence by Professor Teivo Teivainen have revealed antisemitic sentiments, challenging the long-held perception of Mannerheim as a friend of the Jewish community. His complex legacy continues to provoke debate regarding nationalism, identity, and historical memory in Finland.
