Searchlight Lottas
Searchlight Lottas were trained n 1944 as part of Helsinki's defence. They were the only Lottas to receive training in arms and went through a N.C.O. -style training that included a weapon school that enabled them to defend their precious equipment. This training of 145 Searchlight Lottas was somewhat of a crisis for the Lotta organization, since not carrying arms was one of its key principles.
