A 1934 Finnish police photo of Aarne Kauhanen. During the Continuation War, he was in charge of monitoring foreigners. Kauhanen used his position to torture refugees, especially Jews. He fled to Venezuela after the war, only to later be recognized and killed by one of his victims there [483 x 480].

[Aarne Kauhanen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aarne_Kauhanen) also served as a liaison between Finnish police and Nazi police authorities and helped recruit for the [Finnish SS battalion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_volunteers_in_the_Waffen-SS). The Finnish state police at the time, like those in every country in Europe except Denmark, was swarming with Nazis and fascist sympathizers. In 1942, police chief [Arno Anthoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arno_Anthoni), with the support of Minister of Interior [Toivo Horelli](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toivo_Horelli), quietly but knowingly deported 8 Jewish refugees to face certain death.
