Kagal (Finnish resistance movement)

Kagal was a group of people in Finland who wanted to resist or fight against the bad guys who were trying to take over their country. They wanted to protect their country and make sure it stayed safe for their families and friends. Kagal had people from all walks of life, including farmers, teachers, doctors, and even students.

Kagal did not like the bad guys, who were called Nazis. They were very mean and wanted to take control of Finland. Kagal did not like how the Nazis were treating people who were different from them, such as Jewish people, by hurting them and making life difficult for them.

Kagal decided to do something about it. They secretly planned and did things to fight against the Nazis. They blew up bridges and trains to stop the Nazis from moving around easily. They also helped people who were being hurt by the Nazis by giving them places to hide and food to eat.

Kagal was very brave but also very careful. They had to make sure that nobody knew what they were doing because otherwise, the Nazis would catch them and hurt them. They had secret codes and signals so that only people in Kagal would understand what they were saying and doing.

Eventually, the Nazis were defeated, and Finland became free again. Kagal played an important role in helping to keep Finland safe and free. They are still remembered today for their bravery and dedication to their country.
