Blue Cross (society)

Behind the founding of the association were Gunnar von Hertzen, Erkki Räikkönen and Martti Mustakallio.

The organization also provided its members with the membership magazine also called Blue Cross, which covered political events at the time.

Provost Matti Jaakkola wrote for the member magazine.

The organization was dissolved by the decision of the government in the autumn of 1944, as Article 21 of the Moscow Armistice required Finland to abolish all “fascist” organizations.

The Blue Cross was one of the organizations that the Urho Castrén government abolished as soon as possible on September 23, immediately after the peace treaty came into force.
