So one little mistake which irked me was when you called Viipuri "the Russian town Vyborg", at the time Viipuri was Finland's second largest city before the Soviet Union annexed it in the winter war and in it lived mostly Finns. Basically the whole statement was completely wrong in every way, wonderful video though.
You know? I've heard that a certain invading army in eastern Europe is using unprotected and uncoded radio communications that anyone with a walkie-talkie can interfere. I think this is a great opportunity to blast this song and give them some continuation war vibes.

@@bloopertrooper7521 yeah, i mean we were technically part of the axis, but still every Finn is proud of their war history. that alone proves in my opinion that finnish history stands out from the rest.
at 1:44 you say when the finns captured the russian town of vyborg, well its a finnish town which was taken from them in the winter war of 39 /40 and it was the second largest finnish city at that time. so its not really a russian town
@@Simon-vv3kl It was ceded without a population. The evacuees settled elsewhere in Finland eventually as the moscow peace border was restored on the isthmus after the continuation war. The modern Vyborg retains pretty much none of the ethnic identity it used to have before the winter war and was kind of invented anew for its new population.
Didnt Simo Hayha not want to serve in the continuation war tho? From what i remember he said he didnt want to attack another man's land. Or did i just remember it wrong :P
@@shaggygabe728 not sure if the comment you're responding to was edited or not but as it does say "despite wanting to". Also he did serve in the continuation war but not on the frontline. If I remember correctly he was in an AA battery.
@@jaskapenttila7644 thats the thing im commenting about. In an documentary i watched about him there was a quote from Simo wich read along the lines of: "I shall not fight in the Continuation war, as i shall not attack another man's land". My point was just that the comment was wrong. I obviously now know that i was wrong and even a quick google search misproved my point lol
1:40 "...as the finns conquered teh russian town of vieborg?" - they liberated it for fucks sake. It was a FINNISH town Viipuri stolen by the russkies in the same year. Careful choice of words matter. It was a finnish town - and always will be. It is no coincidence that you still find the finnish names to places and towns on google maps today - as hard the russkies tried, they could not make that go away entirely.... even though the original inhabitants fled to the west, and folks living there now ruin those places just like they ruin all of russia.
Look up the historical novel _Stranger in a Stranger Land_ by I can't emember the author, but it's a great story. It's a semi-fictionalized recounting of the true story of a small but determined group of Finnish Jews in uneasy alliance with Nazi troops driving the Russians out of Finland.
russia: ok so to detonate this mine we just have to go to this freaquency russians hearing the odd song finland far in the distance with the song: SÄKKIJÄRVEN POLKKA !!!!!

we've had similiar approach toward soviet communication during polish-bolshevik war- we were jamming their radio communication by blasting the versets from holy bible xd
3:32 this is a relatively recent recording of the "Säkkijärven Polkka". The one which I assume was most likely played is the Viljo Vesterinen accordion rendition of the song, which sounds far more obnoxious to have on repeat for days.
The soviet radioman, listening for the day the music ends. *Music Ends* Soviet Radioman: WOOOOOO! Also Soviet Radioman: Wait, the batteries died yesterday...
Holy crap, I never knew that made it to Leningrad. What Hitler and Napoleon before him couldn't do, the Fina did with the power of a patriotic polka song
They made it _next to_ Leningrad, but never into the city. And they made a point of not participating in the siege of Leningrad, because they that knew none of their fenno-ugric kin-nations had ever owned Leningrad or its immediate surroundings. This greatly pissed Hitler off.

One question though, was it played on the radio frequency or like actual sound waves that we can hear? Also what about the Soviet signals? Were they radio or sound?

Wait so did the Fins in the area have to constantly hear it as well or just the Russian radio transmitters?
Yep, at least they liked the song
"Russian town of Vyborg" oh man, no. Viipuri was a Finnish town for over a hundred years only lost in the peace deal after the Winter War.
I’m so proud of my ancestors
The Soviets were lucky Simo Hayha was not permitted to serve in the Continuation War, despite wanting to (even with half his face blown off).

During the Polish-Soviet War the Poles would jam Soviet radios by reading the Bible.
On kauniina muistona Karjalan maa, mutta vieläki syömmestä soinnahtaa, kun soittajan sormista kuulla saa, Säkkijärven Polkkaa!
These days it's Slava Ukraini! On a 3 month loop

The Finns are like the Brits with their shenanigans, but the fins found a truck of crack first.
Was the exact same version of the song played as the one in the video?
Probably not, but the one on the radio is not the original either
No, that is much newer one with lyrics and lot simplified tune. The original is played by Viljo Vesterinen and the Dallapee Orchestra.
As if I needed another reason to love the Finns... Good damn people in Suomi. I eagerly await my visit one day...

That's amazing, the song is a banger too so no loss on both sides in my opinion
The last song a Soviet radio operator heard.
The Finns basically Rick Rolled Russia.

Finlandia 1
Soviet Union 0
Take that Molotoff
4:00 "Finnish troops playing real life angry birds, 1941 colourised"
Imagine if every single frequency was jammed and every time you tried to radio in orders or information all you hear is this
What fantastic history for a beautiful song! Thanks for sharing this with us : )
the Nazis were not eyeing the whole continent research history before making videos on it
This is one of my favourite songs, I've always loved the history behind it too!
Lol
Imagine placing some mines and hearing this song
and when you listen to that soung you can just image these trollfaces of people singing the song
3:32 this is a relatively recent recording of the "Säkkijärven Polkka". The one which I assume was most likely played is the Viljo Vesterinen accordion rendition of the song, which sounds far more obnoxious to have on repeat for days.
They didn't actually play the version of the song with lyrics. They used the older instrumental version by Vili Vesterinen.
THE RADIO IS A SPY
You Spelled Säkkijärven Pollka Kinda Close To What We Finns Pronouce It!

Someone should blast “Nyet Molotoff” through Russian radios in Ukraine.
The Fin : play Säkkijärven Polkka
The soviet bomb : nice song...have a great time then :)
Ok russia, i know your'e not exactly known for military victories but this is just embarrasing to you
Rickroll of WW2
Exactly
The soviets got trolled basically
The Finnish are jamming Soviet mines, we're just jamming to the song.
Ah yes Sakkijarven Polka the original Rick Roll
polkka
Säkkijärven polkka is such a vibe even to us people who are from Finland.
I mean it's obvious.

The poles did it better, they jammed Soviet radios with the Bible

I am a Communist but I am Swedish and we sent volunteers.
Help.
One question though, was it played on the radio frequency or like actual sound waves that we can hear?
Also what about the Soviet signals? Were they radio or sound?
It was played on the radio frequency that is the same as the soviets
Also soviets used radio signals so that’s why they were blocked
@@bloopertrooper7521 but couldn't people hear the song?
And how can a song with different chords be represented by radio waves? Won't the mines just explode?
@@lukeali1580 They could hear the song if they tuned their radios on the right frequency
This is Accurate, Nice Job!
The quality of this video is extremely good. It's very well done and was very helpful. This channel is criminally underrated tbh.
The finns never entered leningrad. They stopped outside. I still consider Viipuri an occupied finnish city. It was stolen by the Soviets.
1:44
Viipuri is finnish city, not russian.
absolute banger to this day
