Kurt Martti Wallenius (1893 - 1984) was a finnish Lieutenant-General. In 1915 Wallenius travelled to Germany where he enrolled in the Royal Prussian 27th Jger Battallion. He took part in the battles on the Misse-river. After returning to Finland as part of the Finnish Jger troops Wallenius took part in the Finnish Civil War on the side of the whites. He commanded a platoon in Tervola and Tornio. He was later appointed the commander of the troops around Kuolajrvi and Kuusamo. Here he was given the command of the northern group in the failed Viena expedition. After the Civil War Wallenius commanded the troops in North-Western Finland, the Salla Regiment and the 1st Border Guard Regiment of Lapland. In the 1920s he was briefly made a military attache in Berlin. In 1930 he was promoted to Lieutenant-General. In the 1930s Wallenius became involved in right-wing activities. He was one of the leaders of the Lapua movement. He was imprisoned twice for a total of over one year. When the Winter War began, Commander-in-Chief of Finnish troops marshal Mannerheim appointed Wallenius as the commander of the Lapland Group. The troops under his command repulsed numerically superior Soviet troops at Salla and Petsamo. After the Winter War Wallenius retired and lived in a old cabin in Rovaniemen maalaiskunta writing books and articles. Wallenius, Kurt Martti Wallenius, Kurt Martti Wallenius, Kurt
