He was not just in the Green Beret, he was a founding member.
Highly decorated by all the armies he served into
Cross of Mannerheim= Highest decoration of the Finnish Army
Iron Cross= The famous/infamous decoration of the Third Reich
Bronze Star, Purple Heart= By the US Army, for his Vietnam service
Distinguished Flying Cross= posthumously awarded, after a helicopter crash during his second Vietnam tour
@@karpuze80 Yes i got the book about him its an incredible read for an history buff.
Remember that the Iron Cross existed in the German Empire long before National Socialism took power.
"Iron Cross" = "...from the Third Reich.."???
Awarded by the Nation = German Republic, lead by National Socialistic Party??? 😮
Hhmm... (WTAF?)
Preferably for the service on Deutch Army(Wehrmacht) huh?
Roots of the Iron Cross lays on the days of the Knights, medieval times.
Corrections are welcomed...
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 💯 💥
And Lauri Törni, Larry between friends😋🙃, was the 'vibe' and a refugee outta here from Finland 🇫🇮
respect to the finn
I would have recommended Sabaton History channel for this. Sometimes is nice to do back to back if song has already history video of it in Sabaton history.
I would definitely agree he just may find out something really interesting that you didn’t know about
Larry Thorne has Legion Of Merit too and he was US Congress first choice to lead MacV-Sog! He is only SS Officer who is buried Arlington and will stay there. Congress made statement years ago that Larry will stay there forever,but he is the only exception.
Poor Törni, truly "addicted to war". He felt betrayed after Finland lost the war against the Soviet Union: first a war hero and suddenly a traitor. I knew a veteran who had "worked" (a radio spy) with Törni after the war in the same premises (oppposite the hotel in which the supervisory commission and general Zdanov stayed). For me, Simo Häyhä is still nro 1 with gen. Airo but Törni definitely was a hero in Finland's fight against the Soviet Union. Törni, though, it is a bit tragic one (IMO).
I need to finish the book "The Life and Times of Larry Thorne" it is all about this incredible man! I also met one of Larry's squad members a few years ago. His name was James Brown and he served with Larry in 10th Special Forces Group in Bad Tolz, Germany. They were part of the occupation forces. James said that Larry kept to himself and NEVER spoke unless it had something to do with the mission. I guess his English wasn't the best.
@@andrewludwig9251 Interesting! Sounds (keeping to himself) very much what I have heard but also very Finnish (only that he was born in Karelian Istmus, and Karelians are usually pretty talkative). On the other hand, he must have been quite bitter (the result and consequences of the lost war). A former Finnish president, Mauno Koivisto, served in the same department with Törni. He told that Törni was well-liked superior, but also withdrawn and quarrelsome at times.
Lauris story is incredible and it's a kickass song!
He earned the
Cross of Mannerheim, the highest Finnish award
And
The German Iron Cross 2nd class. Now that in itself is pretty hard to get.
Then there's the purple heart and the bronze star.
The Distinguished flying cross was his last award after his body was recovered after the Vietnam war.
Do you remember the ´69 Movie "Green Berets" staring John Wayne? Its based on Lauri´s or Larry´s actions for what he received the Bronze star. He later on was a MACV Advisor and MIA since ´65, until the crashed Helicopter and his remains were found in the late 90s. His last rest is on the Arlington Cemetary
He also have a family gravestone in Helsinki Malmi cemetery.
It says missing 19.10.66
@@tomi_9212 Wow i didnt know that ill be sure to visit his grave in Finland next time i take the ferry ;)
@@tomi_9212 R.I.P. Lauri
Did they verify it was his remains? I remember hearing that there were several other helicopter crashes in the area, and the body they found could've been someone else.
@@Madison-iw8ix i guess the Dog tag was still in a condition to be identified...or DNA tests from relatives🤷♂
He might be the only SS soldier that is buried in Arlington
He is and will be. There were some SS minded persons buried there and those has been removed. They were not even members at all. Congress said Larry will be the only one who can rest there even he is a SS officer. He has done for US more that even books tell. They even asked Finnish relatives that can they bury him to Arlington.
@@japekki666 yes but Lauri also wasn't a nazi, he just went to Germany for the training and to kill commies.
If I remember correctly, Lauri wasn't a particularly big fan of fascism. He just hated communism more. And Germany wasn't attacking his country at the time, and free training sounds good.
Lauri Törni alias Larry Thorne 🇫🇮.
The Green Berets movie, John Wayne acts Larry Thorne… says many Finish American peoples who lives in USA.
Medals earned by Lauri Törni aka Larry Thorne:
Mannerheim Cross, (Finland)
Iron Cross, II lk (Nazi Germany)
Legion of Merit (United States)
Bronze Star (United States)
Distinguished Flying Cross (United States)
Purple Heart (2) (United States)
Air Medal (United States)
This one is super lit
Lauri Allan Törni or Larry Thorn -- He started as private in Finnish army got the highest medal possible, then joined Germans, illegally, with false identity. Rose from private to highest honor in Germany.. then joined us with another false name, and also switched his name.. Got 2nd greatest honorific in US army + green baree + purple heart.. he joined 3 different armies as a rookie.. and got higest(or close to highest) ranks in each army he fought in..
Died in Vietnam War. Was discovered, and only then his fighting knowledge was.. acknowledged.. He did alot of things during that time.. including leading an attack with troops he couldn't speak the same language, he made them do his orders by both fist and pointing.. Dude was war-incarnate.
We Finn's remember.. one of the greatest who ever served our country
One of the best Sabaton has made.
Here's a documentary about him, if you're interested: "Törni - Sotilaan tarina (A Soldier's Story) English Subtitles"
Swedes also remember.
Gotta recommend resist and bite
belgian army/ territorial defence forces going against the odds to hold back german army in ww1 or 2?
Lauri Torni a true Finland's hero
another song with great lyrics to sing along
Amazing video! I would love to see you make more reaction videos of Pär Hulkoffs music, like Raubtier and his solo project Hulkoff, I recommend blood and iron, ragnarök. sänd dina korpar (send your ravens in english) and holmgång (the latter three are available in both swedish and english)
Maybe the soldier you were thinking of was Yang Kyoungjong,? A Korean man that some people think fought with 3 armies, Japanese, Soviet union, and German army.
If he did, I have one question: why would a Korean fight for the Japanese? Unless it was for survival reasons, which I can understand.
@@Madison-iw8ix 1910-1845 Korea was ruled by the Japanese Empire, he was drafted against his will into all 3 of these armies.
Lauri is the only Waffen-SS soldier in Arlington to this day and i doubt there will be any more to come
Made in Finland...
nice
Yeah..another one of my favorites... They are just too many and too good.. but thats the harsh reality for us Sabaton fans.
If he was still alive.. without doubt he would be in ukraine.. chance to fight aganst russians Who stole his chilhood hometown Viipuri...
