[PAR] [TLE] Operation Stella Polaris [SEP] Operation Stella Polaris was the cover name for activity in which Finnish signals intelligence records, equipment and personnel were transported into Sweden after the ending of the Continuation War in 1944 so that the signals intelligence activities could continue in Sweden and the equipment would not end up in the hands of the Soviet Union.  The threat of Soviet occupation was considered too likely and an operation was formed to support guerrilla warfare in Finland after occupation.  The operation had its base in the small fishing village of Nämpnäs in Närpes, Ostrobothnia, where the archives were shipped to the Swedish ports.  The leaders of the operation was Colonel Aladár Paasonen, chief of the Finnish military intelligence, and Colonel Reino Hallamaa, head of the Finnish signals intelligence section. [PAR] [TLE] Continuation War [SEP] The Continuation War (Finnish: "jatkosota" ; Swedish: "fortsättningskriget" ; 25 June 1941 – 19 September 1944) consisted of hostilities between Finland and the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1944.  The Continuation War began 15 months after the end of the Winter War, which was also fought between Finland and the Soviet Union.  In the Soviet Union, the war was considered part of the Great Patriotic War.  Germany regarded its operations in the region as part of its overall war efforts on the Eastern Front, and it provided Finland with critical material support and military cooperation.
