Wie in zahlreichen anderen Ländern waren auch in Finnland Langwellensender die ersten Rundfunksender, die in Betrieb gingen.
This is incorrect: Finnish broadcasting was already on air before Lahti’s long-wave station. Yle’s first radio programme was broadcast from Helsinki in September 1926.
Full reasoning
Official Finnish sources place the start of Finnish broadcasting before the Lahti long-wave station opened. Yle states that its first programme was broadcast on 9 September 1926 from Helsinki, and its timeline also notes earlier public broadcasts in 1923–1925. The Lahti museum likewise says the Helsinki broadcasting station already existed but was not powerful enough, which is why Finland’s first long-wave station was then built in Lahti and inaugurated on 22 April 1928. So Lahti was the first long-wave station in Finland, not the first Finnish broadcasting station overall.

It was soon found that the radio broadcasting station in Helsinki was not powerful enough. The first long wave station in Finland was built in Lahti... Lahti's broadcasting station was inaugurated on 22 April 1928.
mit Beginn des von der Sowjetunion bewusst ausgelösten Winterkrieges 1940
The date is wrong. The Winter War began on 30 November 1939, not in 1940.
Full reasoning
Reliable Finnish sources date the start of the Winter War to 30 November 1939. Yle’s historical coverage states that the USSR attacked Finland on 30 November 1939, calling that the first day of the Winter War. The Finnish government likewise states that the war began on 30 November 1939. So describing the war’s beginning as occurring in 1940 is incorrect.

Der Langwellensender Lahti wurde am 31. März 1993 stillgelegt
The shutdown date is wrong. The official museum history says Lahti’s AM station went silent in May 1993, not on 31 March 1993.
Full reasoning
The official history published by the Radio and TV Museum Mastola in Lahti states: “Lahden AM-asema hiljeni toukokuussa 1993” (“Lahti’s AM station fell silent in May 1993”). That directly contradicts the article’s claim that the station was shut down on 31 March 1993. The museum’s English-language history also confirms only that the AM station stopped broadcasting in 1993, while the Finnish version narrows this to May 1993.

Heute wird die Anlage seit der Abschaltung 1993 als Rundfunkmuseum genutzt
This overstates when museum use began. The site was managed by a museum foundation from 1993, but the Radio and TV Museum moved into the former AM station in 1997 and opened to the public there in May 1998.
Full reasoning
The official history from Radio and TV Museum Mastola distinguishes between the 1993 closure of the AM station and the later opening of the museum in the former station building. According to the museum, the foundation was established in 1993 to manage the area, the museum moved into the renovated AM station building in 1997, and the renewed museum opened to the public in May 1998. So it is inaccurate to say the facility has been used as a broadcasting museum since 1993.
