yes. The North has always been a secondary front. There were Finnish divisions UP TO the Arctic Circle since 1942, and German divisions north of the Arctic Circle were.

The Soviet leadership planned an offensive in the spring and summer (May-June 1944) along the entire line from Leningrad to Murmansk. But the Finns resisted and the attack on the Kandalaksha direction was canceled. In the 1st quarter of 1944, before the offensive, 30-31-32 ski brigades arrived to the aid of 122 and 104 rifle divisions and stood north of the Voyanvaara Hill, formed an 88 tank regiment, strengthened the 77 naval brigade and it became the 341 division, and added the 38 Guards tank brigade.
When the Germans began to withdraw at the end of August 1944, from September 03, 1944, Soviet troops began to go parallel to the Alakurtti-Salla road (Kuoloyarvi) and attacked the Miokolakhti area from the north, and from the south Moutinkainen and the Finnish village of Oncamo.
In the center of the front, the attack of 2 battalions choked on the first day and the troops went to Alakurtti from the north along the Liposyuntyum-Oula line.

122 and 104 rifle divisions were withdrawn from the Kandalaksha direction only in December 1944 and sent to Romania.

dear colleagues!
I'm putting up an AUGMENTED version of the ZHBD 36AK for 1942
https://cont.ws/@wildgoose/2549737
in Russian and German
it added January and February and partly the rest of March 1942.
he added almost nothing else.
any materials for April, May and June 1942 (War Diary, Morning and Evening Reports, etc.) have not been found.

dear colleagues!
I am putting up an article on "The losses of the Germans and Finns until 09/15/1941" (the first stage of the offensive of the Germans and Finns towards Kandalaksha).
https://cont.ws/@wildgoose/2551166
according to other sources, these data are almost the same, so I think these figures may be the main guideline.

dear colleagues!
I am putting up a CORRECTED version of the report SS-Div.Nord in June-July 1941.
her further actions (since August) in the Kandalaksha direction are already included in the Reports 36AK, which I have already published in previous links.
https://cont.ws/@wildgoose/2551649
Fixed the ugly order of building the Report, put everything exactly for ease of reading, added a few links
in Russian and German
