In July 1941, during theContinuation War,Ojasti, who worked as a superior in ValPo'sRovaniemidepartment, was ordered to join a 12-man Finnish group assisting GermanSS-UntersturmführerWilhelm Laqua, the commander ofEinsatzkommando Finnland,inKirkenes, Norway.He was involved in the transfer of prisoners of war and executions. In the fall of 1941, men from the Finnish group worked inNazi concentration camps in Norway.Some of them also moved with the Germans to the Soviet side inKarelia,where they supervised the local population and hunted for communists.
