10:36 Aarne Juutilainen, a Finnish soldier and Knight of the Mannerheim Cross, earned his nickname "Terror of Morocco" while serving in the French Foreign Legion in the 1920s and 1930s. He had joined the Legion as a young man and participated in several military operations, especially in North Africa, where conflicts against local rebels were regular during the French colonial period. Juutilainen was known for his courage, toughness, and uncompromising attitude, which made him a feared and respected figure among both his enemies and his own troops. His reputation as a fierce and effective warrior led to him being nicknamed the "Terror of Morocco". The nickname reflected his fearlessness and ability to overcome difficult situations. Juutilainen later returned to Finland and fought in the Winter War and the Continuation War, where he became a respected company commander. His military career and colorful personality have made him a legendary figure in Finnish history.
If you like videos like this, there is no one better than The Fat Electrician. He is a great story teller and his knowledge of military history is very good.
It's that and the combination of all the tiny things he did so nobody could ever see him, the things like packing his lip with ice so his breath would cool to outside temperatures so it wouldn't create steam, his tiny little attentions to tiny little details set him apart from the rest
Already wrote this on another site. Simo was asked what he felt when he shot a Russian soldier so Simo said: "recoil". This comment was revealed in Der Spiegel. Great reaction!
I'm from the U.P., (Upper Peninsula of Michigan), the largest population of people of Finnish descent outside of Finland. Let me tell ya, the U.P. was one hell of a place to grow up!
Been watching the channel for years and always enjoy your videos but I get extra excited when you do military content. Especially the fat electrician episodes. Thank you for the years of content!❤
In one interview, he(Häyhä)was asked: "what was the highest ranked soldier you shot?" "I don't know, but four generals were carrying him off." He had answered(while grinning).
That's an actual firearm. Not a BB gun. This was a new one to me., thx, man. Enjoyed it. I'm in the USA, but it's kinda nice to hear great stories about other country's heroes too. Yeah, I've seen him too. The picture I mean...
Yes sir Lewis, those are real guns, and what amazing looking guns at that. I greatly enjoyed you being shocked at one gun when there are like 4 others in the background plus the gun safe lol. Welcome to the USA, we like our guns. Nic and his other UA-cam friends really don’t mess around when it comes to guns, it’s so much fun to watch. Great reaction, really enjoyed the video. I’m from Minnesota which has a massive Scandinavian population, and I was just waiting for nic to drop a video on the white death. On a side note you should try to come here some day, Im sure you know already but you will enjoy it. Hope you have a great rest of your day!
As a Finn i do not really understand this hey ho about Simo Häyhä. He did what he was expected to do. This is the highest command for any Finn. My grand father born in 1923 commanded a part if the pioneer/engineering forces during the War. He was active military until the 1970s. Yet, he's just another soldier for us, given all our men, like my nephews today. My sister's little babies will go and learn how to kill people. And I have already explained that to them and how to succeed. They are 17 ad 13. I sit on a bomb shelter. What do I need to say? I'm a lefty Finnish woman. What I tell my nephews is that don't become cannon fodder. When you go to the military you have to put everything you've got into it. After that you can go to university and do a Ph.D like I did. No pressure obviously. Just the little fact of survival.
I am a Finn living in Australia, my dad joined the fight in the Winter War, he lied about his age to get in and spoke about those war times. He said that one of the reasons Finland was able to give Russia such a good fight during the Winter War was that they had record cold weather, that the Russians were vastly under equipped, didn’t have the clothing for that type of weather nor adequate food. Plus the Finns were well equipped for the terrain and weather, being able to ski and move quickly through the terrain. He also spoke about Simo and how his achievements help to keep moral up. He also spoke about the lie Russia made to justify them invading Finland. He also spoke about how no one came to Finland help, lots of fascinating stories about the Finnish sisu.
I actually have a Mosin-Nagant that I bought for $100 from a friend that bought a whole crate of them. It even came with a bayonet that you can attach. I've had it for about 8 years, but have yet to shoot it. Lol
These are some of the stories.I remember as a kid listening to. My whole family is a military family.Every generation went through Is the military. Is army, Navy, Is the marines. I was born on a military base. So is my sister in my Brother. I grew up traveling around from country to country. I had a Active passport before a driver's license.
Days have changed since the Winter war, now you have drones than can detect movement, equipment, camps, heat signatures and automated drone swarms are coming...it's going to be extremely hard & deadly for all parties to fight in wars to be, especially in cold climate.
Stalin is reported to have said "It takes a brave man to be a coward in the Soviet Army". The Soviets had Penal Battalions to clear minefields and lead assaults. If you tried to back down, you were shot. If you survived, you got another chance to be part of the next assault. Sounds like they used Penal Battalions in Finland too.
During the Winter War, the Soviet Union primarily employed rifle divisions in their attacks against Finland. These divisions were the standard infantry formation of the Red Army at the time. Characteristics of Rifle Divisions: Typically consisted of three rifle regiments, an artillery regiment, and supporting units like engineers, anti-tank, and reconnaissance. Designed for offensive operations. However, it's important to note: The Soviet Union also utilized tank brigades and cavalry divisions in certain sectors. The effectiveness of these divisions was significantly hampered by the harsh Finnish winter conditions, poor logistical support, and the fierce resistance of the Finnish forces.
Some of the Battalions were from Ukraine but I haven't heard Penal Battalions anywhere. Soviet had bad leaders back that time as it is said in the video, Stalin's paranoia. Other Baltic nations were taken like Molotov-Ribbentrop pact indicated. Ofc not that they wouldn't want to stay independent but geography doesn't work for them. It does for Finland.

Lewis, you don't seem to be aware that throwing the lives of infantry men into gun fire is the way Russia has performed in battle for 150 years, including WWII.
In WW II millions of Russians were killed (they even made civilians fight) and the governments attitude was “we have lots of people-they’re expendable”
My Dad and uncle were hunting at 9. I started at 11. My Great Uncle was in the Winter War as a volunteer. He " acquired" a Mosin when he came back. The first rifle I ever fired.
Real people are built different. You will not tolerate disrespect, threats, or attacks. Believe it or not one person can do a lot. Pride is a way better motivator than fear.

Keep making them. Perhaps someday when ya visit the USA you'll upload a content/creative video ? Hoping ya get to experience that too. Anyhoo, enjoy the remainder of the week. Have fun and be safe. :)
You still havent reacted to "22 vs 500. Americas Defiant stand at Lazeranth Ridge" They deserve to have their story heard. They're heros, and might have even decided the European theater of WW2
It's not uncommon for people that grow up hunting for sustenance their whole life with a humble rifle to be absolutely deadly with it and have woodscraft like a wild animal. Carlos Hathcock was like this for the US Marines during Viet Nam. The Viet Cong hated him like the devil. He also got hideously injured in combat too but still fought on.
On 20 June 1930, Juutilainen travelled to France and joined the French Foreign Legion. He was transferred to Fort St. Nicolas in Southern France, near Marseille, and from there to Oran in Algeria. He spent time in a Foreign Legion training camp in the town of Sidi Bel Abbès.[8] From there he was transferred to Fez and fought in several battles against the Berber rebels in the Atlas Mountains.[8] Because of his service in Morocco, he was called "The Terror of Morocco" by Finnish troops.[8]
im a filipino and im just surprised that this jungle sh*t has really become our thing😅😂😂 jungle warfare💪👌 one od the best, if not the best in the planet .. even americans goes to our country to learn how to fight in the jungle!
I think I may have seen the original video before (I am less than three minutes in). That guy was the baddest of the bad. You would always want him on your side.
Let's put it this way....the Mosin-Nagant Simo used was a Finnish m28/30, it has a 5 round internal magazine capacity and uses stripper clips to reload...that means he fired 3 full mags and one shot that was already in the chamber from the first mag for 6 rounds on the first mag in 1 minute. While bolt action rifles are noted for their high accuracy, pulling the bolt back every time does cause the gun to move and he has to move his hand from trigger to bolt and back to trigger to fire because this is NOT a semi-auto type of rifle where you just pull the trigger and go through a mag quick as you move your trigger finger.
Lew do you know what a gilly suit is? I watched a marine sniper wearing one moving through high grass with his weapon- it took him hours & we couldn’t see him with binoculars-not a blade a grass moved😮!! They are VERY patient with nerves of steel.
Lewis, there's a dark joke out there I heard once. "Hitler and Stalin once had a contest to see who could kill more Russians. Stalin won." Yeah, Soviet tactics were absolutely brutal on their own men. All too often they'd be shot by their own officers and political hacks if they wouldn't advance, or tried to retreat, no matter the tactical situation.
Bro...Simo's face was half ripped off 😅 the medic probably didint even recognized him. I agree with you tho Simo surely deserved more than being thrown in a pit at this moment
Just tried the Google machine to see why Juutilainen was called the "Terror of Morocco." He was in the French Foreign Legion in the 1930s, but don't know enough about that time period to know why Finland or France was going after Morocco. It's between World Wars, right?
I told you that you'd like his videos. At least I think I did. I told somebody and you're one of the few channels I follow and watch regularly so I'm pretty sure it was you.
Juutilainen served in the French foreign legion during the war in the Atlas Mountains or The Rif War an armed conflict fought during the first half of the 1920s between the colonial power Spain (later joined by France) and the Berber tribes of the Rif mountainous region, led by Abd el-Krim.
You should read the book one shot one kill. It's about a bunch of short stories about snipers throughout history From world war1 to Vietnam to desert storm.
Psychological effect - you are a squaddy, not NCO or officer and used to think:"sniper targets those with tin buttons on their collar...". Not in this case you think:"I may be the next one..." it certainly affects your will to keep patrolling.
Don't know if you have seen American Sniper. It is am amazing movie based on a true story of a Texas born US Navy man that was a sniper and was in Iraq. Try the movie if you haven't.
Aarne Edward Juutilainen (Finnish: [ˈɑːrne ˈjuːtilɑi̯nen]; 18 October 1904 - 28 October 1976), nicknamed "Marokon kauhu" (English: The Terror of Morocco), was a Finnish army captain who served in the French Foreign Legion in Morocco between 1930 and 1935. After returning to Finland, he served in the Finnish army and became a national hero in the Battle of Kollaa during the Winter War with the Soviet Union; with his relentless fighting spirit, he rose to legendary status on the war front.[5][6] He was wounded three times during World War II. ad to that he often got drunk and caused a havoc.

Think about this: As a Sniper, every man you kill, you look in his face. Ok, perhaps not every one, but how many could you watch die?
Since he was using iron sights from at least a hundred meters, he probably wasn't seeing their faces too close.
It's just a job.
Maybe future scopes will have A.I. to turn the target into whatever the sniper wants to see 😂 minimize the PTSD, he could shoot paper target people 😅

Just tried the Google machine to see why Juutilainen was called the "Terror of Morocco." He was in the French Foreign Legion in the 1930s, but don't know enough about that time period to know why Finland or France was going after Morocco. It's between World Wars, right?
I told you that you'd like his videos.
At least I think I did. I told somebody and you're one of the few channels I follow and watch regularly so I'm pretty sure it was you.
Juutilainen served in the French foreign legion during the war in the Atlas Mountains or The Rif War an armed conflict fought during the first half of the 1920s between the colonial power Spain (later joined by France) and the Berber tribes of the Rif mountainous region, led by Abd el-Krim.
I loved this story!❤
love me some fat electrician. his history videos are always bangin
In the US military, they call it "Embrace the Suck!".
Not a bad explanation of SISU.
If you want an even crazier story check out his video titled “All Blood Runs Red”
I know what you were trying to say, but I'm totally incorporating "blindlessly" into my zeitgeist.
Each video I see of you brother makes me more and more aware of the fact that youve never been outside 😂😂😂
10:37 he got that nickname whilst serving under the French Foreign Legion
The Fat Files ROCK
Farm boys in WWII were the best shots bc they were use to shooting moving targets which is not that easy.
You should read the book one shot one kill. It's about a bunch of short stories about snipers throughout history From world war1 to Vietnam to desert storm.
1:25 Ye... yes, that's a rifle. It's a fixed stock AR-15 essentially. We get to have those.
Yes that’s a real gun Lewis. 😂
I can consistently hit a hedgehog from 65 yards. But buying hedgehogs got expensive so I haven't been practicing for a few weeks.
Psychological effect - you are a squaddy, not NCO or officer and used to think:"sniper targets those with tin buttons on their collar...".
Not in this case you think:"I may be the next one..." it certainly affects your will to keep patrolling.
watch one on the Bladed R9X Ninja Missile, you'll love it or be scared idk which lol
Lewis you need to look up Mad Jack Churchill if you have never heard of him if you thought Roy Benavidez and Simo were crazy you aint seen NOTHING
I don't usually care to watch someone react to a video I've already watched on my own. But I will if it's L3WG
Don't know if you have seen American Sniper. It is am amazing movie based on a true story of a Texas born US Navy man that was a sniper and was in Iraq. Try the movie if you haven't.
wow. this was a really good story.
Aarne Edward Juutilainen (Finnish: [ˈɑːrne ˈjuːtilɑi̯nen]; 18 October 1904 - 28 October 1976), nicknamed "Marokon kauhu" (English: The Terror of Morocco), was a Finnish army captain who served in the French Foreign Legion in Morocco between 1930 and 1935. After returning to Finland, he served in the Finnish army and became a national hero in the Battle of Kollaa during the Winter War with the Soviet Union; with his relentless fighting spirit, he rose to legendary status on the war front.[5][6] He was wounded three times during World War II.
ad to that he often got drunk and caused a havoc.
Look up White Feather, American Sniper.
Line of site in the woods is low, don't need scopes.
the sniper he shot was from a distance nof 490m
Simo was 5’3
That's 5'3" folks, 5 foot 3 inches maybe if we can learn how to text or write down actual measurements people will start paying attention..
@@chrisp3085' means 5 foot I think we can dictate what the 3 after is.
@@the_jtek5142Thank you for saying it
@the_jtek5142 okay let me explain the difference between perception and reality,... Oh you know what just keep being stupid you obviously are having the time of your life...
