The play tells the story of Jaegers who are in military training in Germany to prepare for the Finnish War of Independence.
Jääkärin morsian was performed at the Red Mill Theater in Helsinki in the autumn of 1948.
However, the Red Mill had previously announced that the performances of the Jääkäri bride would end on December 6 in any case.
Another play that caught the eye of the Soviets at the same time was Jean-Paul Sartre's Dirty Hands, performed at the Finnish National Theater.
[1] Jääkärin morsian was Jouko Turkka's first directorial work done at the Törnävä summer theater in Seinäjoki.
