Major General Erkki Johannes Raappana (June 2, 1893 – September 14, 1962) was the commander of the 14th Division of the Finnish Army during the Second World War.

From 1916 to 1918, he served in the 27th Jäger Battalion, a light infantry unit of the Imperial German Army.

It ended with a Finnish victory, as the last major Soviet attack against Finland was stopped here.

Two elite Red Army divisions were completely routed after a week and a half of fighting, leaving behind over 3,000 Red Army soldiers dead and approximately 100 artillery pieces destroyed.

After the wars, he was sentenced to six months in prison for his involvement in the Weapons Cache Case.
