70th anniversary of Mannerheim death. One of the greates man in european history. He was a very humble, true patriot who knew when to step down and when to reappear for the sake of his nation. So rare in his days and so unheard of these days. He is one of my favourite figures in all history of humankind. If I could meet some one from the past, it is quite possible that he would be my choice.
Mannerheim had many great qualities, but he was not humble.
Mannerheim has something 18th century in him. He really reminds me to Admiral Horthy the leader of Hungary. The two persons had a bit simmilar life story too!
Greatest? A fascist dog was great? Let's celebrate Hitler and Mussolini as well
@@SerbijaSupreme"fAsCisT 🤡
@@timoterava7108 State and army leaders can't be totally humble, they are neither saints nor priests, but I think Mannerheim was a humble leader compared to leaders like De Gaulle (his arrogance was maybe his worst fault, for him and for France) Churchill, Pétain, Kennedy, Reagan, etc. Not to mention totalitarian dictators and today's leaders. At least Mannerheim gives from himself a true impression of humility.
However, despite a Finnish background, I'm not the best specialist in Mannerheim, I don't pretend to be necessarily accurate.
He was a hero
ask st petersburg citizens
@@user-fq9ok7os3b They should thank Mannerheim for saving a lot of lives. Mannerheim halted the troops before St Petersburg and declined to join Germany offensive towards the city.
@@frontier4845 btw they dont like this “angel of peace”
@@user-fq9ok7os3b don't be like that. your country in that time was in bad leadership (stalin) even u know that. soviet union did start the war. they also bombed only civilian targets in start of winterwar. but mannerheim was our hero period
Yes he hero
On November 1 2020, Tuomas Gerdt, the last living Knight of the Mannerheim Cross, passed away in Helsinki. He was 98 years old. He was given a military funeral in Lappeenranta, South Karelia, with president Sauli Niinistö, Defence Minister Antti Kaikkonen, and Chief of Defence General Timo Kivinen attending. His passing marks the end of an era in Finnish history, as the number of living WWII veterans shrinks year by year.
Even if they shrink,their sacrifice will not be forgotten regardless on who's side they fought.
Vila i frid hjälte!
Mannerheims funeral procession was 3,7 kilometers (2.29 miles) long and consisted of 100 000 - 150 000 people.
A great learder for a small but proud country. A titan of the human history
This man proved that the power of perkele is not a small thing.
What a man ... Peak Alpha.
A true hero! Kiitos, Tack.
Espero que ele nunca cai no esquecimento cabe ao bravo povo finlandes preservar legado desse homen.
🇧🇷🇫🇮
He remains popular figure of Finnish history today.
If you'd walk down a street and asked every one passing by you "Do you know who was Marshall Mannerheim?" Everyone would answer yes.
He's certainly not forgotten.
A great man who served his country by all means
Long live the Field Marshal Mannerheim and the great Finish people.
Rest in peace,soldier of 2 great countries
Which is the country?
@@maonparas russian empire and finland
@@caucasusbatz8118Yea i would more like Say Sweden and Finland. He was Swedish by Ethnicity. Russia can not claim a man who was not of their own.
@@svampen7782 it’s because he fought in the Russian army
I have cried 3 times today while watching this vid
I cried as well. He should've been sent to a Gulag and all of Finland eaten by the Soviets :(
@@SerbijaSupreme heehee ass commie homosexual
Our Greatest Champion!
Mannerheim was big hero of finland
That's The real pride right There.
As a Russian I respect you Fins and Mannerheim and your brave fightingspirit in the Winter War.
My grandfather, while absolutely anti communist, Said he had never seen no-one as fearless As russian troops who Charged against Finnish machine guns in winter war. That was The only Time he talked of winter- And continuation Wars that he partook in as a front line soldier. You russians are great people, i wish you Will someday Be in charge of your own Destiny without some Power hungry lunatic demanding you to die For him in a pointless war against your neighboring country
We need more Mannerheims in our world.
Lepää rauhassa, sankari.
Hero ❤
💖🇫🇮
He was marchall of finland. Not only field marchall.
Isten nyugosztalja, egy tisztelője Magyarországról ! Hungary :)
i am a part of his family
The most based leader.
farewell our dear leader, you protected us with your brave soldiers from the soviet terror and showed to the world of how strong smaller nations can be, like in ukraine always keep fighting till the end.
En sann hjälte!
Nice to se this video. The narroter makes an error. Mannerheiom was not field marshall but was promoted to the rank of Marshall of Finlland at the fourth of june in 1942.
No he was Field MArshall before june 1942 in fact he was Field MArshall sinse 1918 in finnish service
@@no-nonseplayer6612 1933 he become Field Marshal. On june 4th 1942 on his 75th birthday the Finnish government granted him the unique title of Marshal of Finland.
@@bengtandersson2649 Yes, that's correct.
Field Marshal = a rank
The Marshal of Finland = a title
he was a field marshall
very sad news
RIP.
Britain and USA helped Soviet Union unfortunately.....
He was Atatürk of the finland.
WHY IN THE WORLD WE HELPED THE SOVIETS
But British again went to russian site, and left as there, alone,..
