Lauri Törni also known as Larry Thorne had an incredible military career that spanned across 3 nation's armies. His life was defined by fighting communism. As a born fighter and a highly skilled soldier this was something he excelled at. Thorne became one of the first green berets and served in Vietnam where he made his final battle. A hero to the Finns and the Americans, he was laid to rest in Arlington cemetery. Thanks to our Finnish friend Mikko who added the "choice" phrases in the video.

@@utvm6748 yes but the Finnish were more skilled in winter warfare
@@utvm6748 yes but 90% of the Russians live in the moderately cold west Russia, which means 90% of the soldiers were from there too, the coldest temps are in Siberia, in the west it doesn't *usually* go colder than -30C, which isn't very cold for any northener. but in their crappy red army uniforms it was too cold for them.

That's really cool, my Grandfather (dad side) worked on the Burma road, in the British army.
Respect to your father. But did you know that Thorne fought in the SS and participated in the siege of Leningrad, which claimed about a million civilian lives?
In the book Just and Unjust Wars, the American political philosopher Michael Walzer , "more civilians died in the siege of Leningrad than in the inferno of Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined»
Thorny is a war criminal. The good soldiers did not fight in the SS units
@@user-dl6yc4wx5g just because he was apart of it, does not mean he committed the atrocities committed there. Yes he was apart of the SS but he still fought on the Finnish front meaning his involvement with that event were minimal. He also served in prison for exactly that if you had been paying attention.
@@user-dl6yc4wx5g He did that yes, as said in the video multiple times. He did well protecting his home, which is why hes a Hero to all Finns, but his hate of commies drove him further. I don't like to believe he did any atrocities, but it's possible, since the Bastards the SS we're. I'd say he was about even on the war reputation, since he did good, and bad.

Lmao just noticed that
"Finns blocked the northern route to Leningrad." While this is true, it leads to the common claim that Finns blocked "supply lines" coming to Leningrad from the northern direction. However, there were no supply routes to Leningrad from north because the territory north of Leningrad had belonged to Finland since the 1920 Tartu peace treaty. All supply routes to Leningrad came from south and east. Also Lake Ladoga was used in transports to Leningrad.
Correct. Finland never participated to siege of Leningrad. Finland only stood at the pre-war border, and never proceeded towards Leningrad. Finland not attacking actually kept some routes open and the whole city was not demolished.
Wow this event of Thorne brought me tear!

@@karelpgbr I'm interested in it too.
It isnt as good of a story as this one. Its a korean boy that got conscripted by the Empire of Japan and was captured by the Soviets and sent to a POWcamp and later sent to the eastern front as a solider for the red army. Then he was captured by the germans who sent him to garrison the Atlantic wall in Normandy with other POWs and some german officers. He was captured by the allies and set free. Dont know what he did after that.

Japan: You have him

There was also YangKyeongJong a Korean man who was drafted by the Japanese, captured by the Russians, then captured again by the Germans, then the Americans finally figured out who he was and this man fought in 3 armies, and SURVIVED!
And I'm pretty sure there is a movie about his life right? if I'm not wrong it called"My Way". One iconic scene from this movie is the one with japanese soldiers tried to suicide bom a Russian tank. Again that's if I'm not wrong.
4 armies I think? Korean, Japanese, Soviet Russia and German. He could of easily joined the American army in Korea if he wanted too, but like Larry Thorne they both missed the Korean war in 1950.
