Syöksypioneeri is a Finnish Infantry unit in Steel Division II.
Background[ | ]
Finnish assault engineers copied the German assault pioneer tactics. During the Winter War Finland ordered 176 portable flame-throwers type Lanciaflamme Spalleggiabile Model 35 with 26 entering in time for the Winter War. Most of the Flamethrowers used in the Continuation War were captured ROKS-2 portable flame-throwers. Finland used flamethrowers in a ad hoc fashion before September 1943. After September 1943 12 flamethrowers were used in Jaeger Engineer Platoons with 6 flamethrowers used simultaneously. These platoon replaced the ad-hoc flamethrower platoons.
