About Hanko Guide - the Doer
I work as local guide in Hanko. I am fascinated by the history of the place, were many young German soldiers spent time during their travel to vacation in their homeland, and the back to the northern from in Finnish Lapland. The remains of the baracks, built 1942 can still be seen, but for how long?
