Wonderful, crisp and clear audio and color video from 60 years ago.

Olympics 1932 to now Olympics 2021 could be just as good.

Yet again superb and gem of a speech that we are lucky to hear when we are alive. Once again marked good for one to learn oratory.
As always thanks to Helmeerreenberg and all the team who recorded this gem and preserved it and now sent it to us for creating a refreshed atmosphere all-around.

That was our last independent president with own opinions and supported Finnish independency.
After him everybody just trying to please someone else.
