"1,408 Finns were recruited into the Waffen-SS and, although recruitment had initially focused on the Swedish-speaking population of Finland, only about 12% of the volunteers were Swedish-speaking. On average, the recruits were 21 years old, and held a collective ideology of Finnish nationalism, revanchism, and a Finnish form of Lutheran revivalism."

"A closer look shows that military chaplains served in a number of Waffen-SS volunteer units. The French Waffen-SS Division Charlemagne included at least two military chaplains, Jean Mayol de Lupé and Albert Verney. The 14th Waffen-SS Division, made up of Ukrainian volunteers, also included military chaplains."

"In addition to the military pastors, the SS included two other Church theologians, Paavo Maunula and Penna Konttinen. In his service commitment, Maunula declared himself a National Socialist."
