The Finnish Realm Union (Suomen Valtakunnan Liitto, SVL) was an organization operating in Finland during the Continuation War, whose task was to bring together pro-Nazi forces under the same umbrella organization and at the same time bring them closer together.
SVL's ultimate goal after the victory in the war was to form a one-party system in Finland like Germany.
It has been alleged that the SVL was prepared by the Nazi Germany to perform a National Socialist coup against the Finnish government in the case Finland seeks a separate peace with the Soviet Union.
According to authors Juha Pohjonen and Oula Silvennoinen, the Finnish war hero Captain Lauri Törni was also part of this operation.
[1][2][3][4] The Finnish Realm Union included many representatives of art, culture and science; the best-known were the sculptor Wäinö Aaltonen, the geologist Väinö Auer, the composer Yrjö Kilpinen, the linguist J. J. Mikkola and the film director Risto Orko.
