Jukka Pellervo Tyrkkö (2 April 1912, in Ylöjärvi – 16 October 1979) was a Finnish war writer.
Life
In 1933, at the age of just 21, Jukka Tyrkkö began publishing the first newspaper in Ylöjärvi, entitled Ylöjärvi (now Ylöjärven uutiset). Tyrkkö served in the Finnish Volunteer Battalion of the Waffen-SS as a war correspondent. He later recounted these experiences in his book Suomalaisia suursodassa.[1] From 1943 to 1944 he was also the secretary of the Finnish SS-Aseveljet (the SS Brothers in Arms Association).[2]
