Bror Claes Purjo (January 10, 1918 - March 27, 1996[1]) was a Finnish CEO and SS volunteer, born in Helsinki, who was involved in the pro-German resistance movement in Finland from 1944 to 1946.
In the summer of 1941, Purjo joined the Finnish SS volunteer battalion, where he rose to the rank of SS-Obersturmführer.
Purjo remained in Germany on secondment even after the Finnish SS battalion had been repatriated at the beginning of June 1943.
Purjo, who was pro-German and supported National Socialism, had good connections with Germany's political and military leadership.
