This modification adds historical war markings to many textures for the finnish Maavoimat (Army). Thanks to AI powered Adobe Photoshop, I was able to remove the after war insignias on many finnish vehicle textures. Its not about painting a Hakaristi on every texture. I don’t understand why the GOH developers removed the finnish Hakaristi on all tanks in the first place and used the post war markings. The Hakaristi symbol is completely unrelated to Nazi Germany, or the NSDAP party, and has been used by the finnish armed forces since 1918 until today.

You can find over 160,000 of colored and black/white photographs of the finnish defence forces at the Finnish Wartime Photograph Archive – Link here – http://sa-kuva.fi

In my research I viewed many historical pictures from WWII (Winter War & Continuation War) and added the Hakaristi according to their size and position on the vehicles. Adds more authenticity and realism to the game. I know "Sandels FI" mod "Finland Uncensored – Continuation War" is out there for GOH, but I wasn’t happy with the work of some texture files and the vision about it.

I concept this mod as a good addition for my other mods:
