Immola Airfield

Immola Airfield (ICAO: EFIM) is an airfield in Imatra, Finland,[1] about 9 kilometres (6 mi) northeast of Imatrankoski, the centre of Imatra.

Before and during the Second World War, the airfield served as a base of the Finnish Air Force.

The German leader (Führer) Adolf Hitler visited Immola on June 4, 1942 to congratulate C. G. E. Mannerheim, the Marshal of Finland, on his 75th birthday.

In the summer of 1944, the Detachment Kuhlmey operated mainly from Immola.
