Aimo Cajander

Ståhlberg invited him as prime minister second time in January 1924. Cajander's short-lived cabinets were merely caretakers before parliamentary elections. Cajander joined in 1927 National Progressive Party and in 1928 he was chosen as Minister of Defence.[4] Cajander was elected to the Parliament in 1929. When Kyösti Kallio was elected president in 1937, Cajander was asked as the chairman of the National Progressive Party to form majority government. Cajander formed a coalition government of the two largest parties in the parliament - Social Democrats and Agrarian League. Cajander was an idealist who did not yet believe in August 1939 that Soviet Union would attack Finland. Partly for this reason the Finnish Army was forced to fight while inadequately equipped. He died in Helsinki, aged 63. Cajander's name is remembered for "Model Cajander", the fashion of many Finnish soldiers in Winter War: the army was poorly equipped, so mobilized reserves were given a utility belt, an emblem to be attached to the hat — to comply with the Hague Conventions; and a rifle. Otherwise, they had to use their own clothes and equipment.
