    ========= Soldier Of 3 Armies LYRICS ==========
    Started out as a reserve,
    Soon promoted well deserved
    And the legend has begun
    With a bounty on his head,
    The Red Army wants him dead
    Soviet enemy number one
    Cross of Mannerheim!
    Addicted to the war game
    Never ending flame
    Victory reclaimed
    Oh, we remember,
    We remember, we remember!
    Shout! Lauri Törni’s name,
    A soldier of 3 armies knows the game
    Deeds that echo from the past
    Rise! from beyond your grave,
    Son of Finland and a green beret
    May you rest in peace at last
    Lauri Allan Törni
    Crossed the water a new start,
    War still beating in his heart
    A new legend has been born
    Started out as a reserve
    Soon promoted well deserved
    Changed his name to Larry Thorne
    From the Finnish lakes
    Into Germany and USA
    All the wars he came across
    Cross of Mannerheim, an Iron Cross,
    A Bronze Star, Purple Heart
    One Distinguished Flying Cross
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    Lauri Törni served in three different armies. He fought the Winter War for his motherland, Finland. He then fought his way through WWII on both the Finnish and German sides, and eventually joined the American Army. He met his demise in Vietnam.

      @@lurker1245 First, he was in the Waffen SS, the military branch, which basically served as German special forces. Second, the only reason he joined the Waffen SS was to receive training and continue fighting the people who invaded his country and killed his people. There isn't a shred of evidence whatsoever that Torni subscribed to Nazi ideology. If the Communists hadn't kept invading his country, he never would have felt the need to join the Axis. You just need to get off your self-righteous high horse and recognize that history is a lot more complex than your limited cartoon-based understanding of the world.
      Also, I have to love how people tend to forget that the Communists were every bit as bad as the Nazis, but no one seems to complain about the USSR's involvement in the war, or any of their actions. Why is that?

Man was became an SS officer then become part of the green Berret just to fight against the communist countries of Russia & Vietnam. This song depicts that perfectly.

      In a foreign perspective they are inflated in terms of the picture of finnish history because youtube videos are an echobox and the youtubers do no research of their own and just copy eachothers videos. For example there are no or little foreign videos of the finnish civil war wich is a major event in finnish history because nobody has put that in the echo box. In comparson there are probably a few dozen to a hundred of videos about the winter war.

    Excellent. Love the military history, so many stories forgotten. My grandad served in the british army, Major Norman Perkis Robinson, he was a math boffin, he could work out the distance and trajectory of the canon balls from ignition, the sound it made when travelling through the air, they eventually took him out of the field to train the other dudes to adjust their canons trajectory and gun powder to hit the target. During a disciplinary during the war in the field, the canons started bombing, everyone dove for cover but he sat there stoic and carved in stone, told them they were idiots and to get up because he had already calculated that the canon ball would not hit them, they were far too short. He served in France and India in both WW1 and WW2, he enlisted at 16 at the time. He also told about the christmas day truce, where it was a german that came out of the trenches with his christmas rack pack and sat in the middle of the lines eating his christmas meal and singing christmas songs, eventually more from both sides joined, he used to cry telling the story.

I say Putin is much more a Nazi than all Ukrainien people together. If you random call people nazis the effect and true meaning of the historicly very very dark word nazi gets in the background. And in my opinion you cant be not a nazi when you are in the radical SS forces. So Lauri Törni isn't a hero, like noone who is called to be a hero for taking part in wars - the most dumb invention of humanity.

    You guys know what? This song could also apply to Yang Kyoungjong. He, too, also served in 3 armies, just like Lauri Allan Torni, the subject of this song. His story is on Wikipedia but, long story short (for those of you too lazy to look him up!), he was 18 yrs. old in Manchuria when he was drafted into the Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army & fought in Nomonhan Incident or Khalkhin Gol & was captured by the Soviet Red Army to be later sent to a Gulag labor camp. With Soviet manpower shortages due to fighting Nazi Germany, he was pressed into service with the same Soviet Red Army only to be captured by the Nazis in the eastern Ukraine during the 3rd Battle of Kharkov in 1943 &, from there, he was again pressed into service with Nazi Germany's "Eastern Battalions" which compromised of former Soviet military prisoners & was sent to occupied France where he fought on the Cotentin peninsula in Normandy near Utah Beach & was later captured by US paratroopers in June 1944. Following release from a Prisoner Of War camp after World War 2 in 1947, he became a US citizen & died in Illinois in 1992. But TAKE NOTE: He was DRAFTED into all this AGAINST HIS WILL, not like Lauri Allan Torni!

    Сабатон, спой песню о
    Василий Николаевич Кочетков.
    Этот солдат пережил 10 войн и был военным более 80 лет , умер в возрасте 107 лет , только после этого уволившись со службы . Я думаю, это будет интересно не только русскому уху, но и всему миру.

    I love the "three" divisions of the photo during the video. The photo of him with the "death's head" cap on for his German tour would really have driven home the 3 army message.
