brobear You have military background, this music video is made to honor one legendary Finnish soldier whose story is absolutely unique. In the film The Green Berets (1968) John Wayne had role as Col. Mike Kirby, that character was closely based on real Green Beret Larry Thorne, whose real name is Lauri Allan Törni, a Finnish WW2 veteran, who fought also in German army in Waffen SS. His story is very interesting to anyone who is interested about military history things, not many men have such natural leadership and warrior skills as he did. In the end it wasn´t enemy who killed him, but an accident. He is true legend in Finland and he was in the end buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery as major, United States Army. He is known by many as "Soldier of 3 armies". Only Waffen SS officer buried in Arlington, btw (Haupsturmführer, same as captain, which happened to be his rank in Finnish army too). During WW2 Soviet Union wanted him dead so badly, that they offered a bounty of 3 000 000 Finnish marks to anyone killing him. Something what they didn´t do for anyone else. Except other Finnish soldier, sniper Simo Häyhä, also known as "Белая смерть, Belaja smert", in English "White death". This is a song made to honor him by Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton. In some way convenient, that soldier of 3 armies gets this kind of tribute from fourth country. Good to notice, that he was also highly decorated in all three armies he fought. Mannerheim cross in Finnish army is same as Medal of Honor in USA, he got also Iron Cross in German army and Distinguished Flying Cross in service for USA. Here song and music video made for him: This one with lyrics:

From Sabaton too and tribute for Simo Häyhä, widely known as the world´s deadliest sniper or as the White death. He was a humble man, but he got quite a reputation too, and not without reason. Edit and add, now here is that song, there was wrong video first. If you are interested, here is what Sabaton tells about him. Those Swedish guys are very interested about military history.

150 meters is equal to 492.13 feet - 16 times per minute. But what impresses me even more that his superb marksmanship is the courage it takes for one lone man to enter behind enemy lines and his 'home-grown' hunting skills making him so stealthy.

But what impresses me even more that his superb marksmanship is the courage it takes for one lone man to enter behind enemy lines and his 'home-grown' hunting skills making him so stealthy. He was interesting man, I don´t start to write more in here, since this is for music, but I mention shortly, that as I said he was very humble man. When he was asked about his experiences, he never said much. Basically "I did what I was told to do, as good as I could". He never bragged etc. childish boasting. Hype came from others, not from him, he didn´t like to be in spotlight. He wasn´t behind enemy lines as far as I know, but between the lines etc. He had excellent ability to look at terrain and find the best possible spots to be in and also estimate where enemy snipers could be found, when they were threat. While there is always some speculation, when talking about snipers and how many they have killed in reality, one interesting thing was found after death of Häyhä. His notebook from the time after he was wounded was found and there he writes, that his "sin-list" has around 500 killed Russian soldiers. There is no accurate list in this notebook, in which he describes shortly his experiences during winter war. It is most probably something he wrote to himself and it might be, that it was never meant to be found, just something for himself so that he could remember also later some things. Even his close relatives knew nothing about that notebook before they found it. Typical to Häyhä, that even that notebook didn´t give any exact numbers, he was always reluctant to give interviews himself. When he lived, he avoided extra attention. He is kind of man, who I respect a lot. He didn´t hate the enemy, but he did what had to be done, as he said, as good as he could. One part of his notebook shows a bit "black humor". He mentions in one part, roughly translated like this "I was in front terrain (between Russian and Finnish lines) teasing Russians, I snapped (killed) 20 Russians and another three to the leg..." There will be always some speculation, but all who knew him, respected him, it is one very clear thing. White death name is from later times, it is controversial if he was called like that. it was most likely more about all Finnish soldiers at the time as well as about it, that it was so much snow and so cold all the time, Russians weren´t prepared at all to such conditions and they learned a harsh lesson about war in winter conditions, which might be surprising to many. But now I stop about this topic here

Those guys who are truly in the thick of it, and could, if they wished it so, have many tales to tell, with very few exceptions ( none that I know of personally ) never tell war stories. For the most part, they try not to think about it at all. *And now back to music and sports.
