Soldier of Three Armies Pt. 1 - Winter War - Sabaton History 064 [Official]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Started out as a reserve, soon promoted well deserved, and the legend has begun.
Lauri Allan Törni, the soldier of three armies. Born and raised in Viipuri in Finnish Karelia, Lauri Törni grew up into a world of tensions, of class-consciousness and conflicting ideologies. Boxed in between the Soviet Union and Germany, Finland was preparing for war of survival. The Winter War would be the first place for Lauri Törni to see battle and begin his legacy as a born soldier.

I just noticed this, but the flag your jacket is backwards. The stars always go to the fore. These colors don't run.
Stay healthy, would rather deal with bad video quality then any of you all getting sick. Though the video quality was pretty good. Keep up the good work. Thoughts and warms wish from my family to everyone else in lockdown.
Thank you! Stay safe!
Never in History a man hated a color as much as Törni.
Better dead than red. That's why
I'd say Hannibal hated red about as much
@@danielblom391 only few roman legions wore red though, despite what hollywood tell you
So, does he still see red when he gets angry or is he more of a green guy?
@@terrorcop101 He now worns the crown of the Night Senti...ups, sorry. Wrong angry man.
When the trees start speaking Vietnamese so an American starts singing Erika in Finnish
while the trees speak Vietnamese, there is a combined Fortunate Son, Erika and Ievan Polka blasting in a bush
Well he was not American. It makes more sense so:
A Finnish starts singing Erika in English(US).
It would be 'Kaarina' (the name of the same song in Finnish)
Even Vietnamese were scared to Torni. He is the chad of anti-communist
@@yousefseed1874 yeah he's an anti-communist badass
Sees title: excited.
Sees 'Pt 1': More excited.
He says it’s a trilogy: E X C I T E
I'm expecting 3 parts, one for each army.
@@gabrielajej Nah, the second part is going to be about the Continuation War and about his Waffen SS career.
Indy & Joakim: *self conscious about not being in a studio*
Me: "I GET TO SEE THEIR HOUSE!"
EXACTLY!
Seemed more like his mountain cabin
Exactly!
looked more like Joakim was on the lavatory tbh. Not that I mind...
Love Indu, that lamp behind him gives off some serious "Grandma's house" vibes
Sabaton history: Home video edition
Sabaton and Indy Cribs special edition. Soon!
*"BETTER DEAD THAN RED"* -Lauri Törni, probably
Well the dude really fucking hated communists since he switched to whoever was fighting the communists at the time
Most likely
I like to think he allow himself to die so he could keep on killing commies in Hell.
@@Death_Korps_Officer honestly wouldn't doubt it, he's basically doom guy but with communists instead of demons
And liberty prime
I think Larry Alan Törni doesn’t like communism. Am I the only one who getting that vibe?
The perfect American
Even Liberty Prime would go "Damn eve I don't hate communism that much."
@@Isometrix116 He fought more than three wars. People forget that he fought against Finland during the Lapland war and the Winter- and Continuation wars are two different wars.
@@lavrentivs9891 Törni switched sides during lapland war but never fought against finnish. He shipped to germany during this time
@@TheSeerka He had already fought for the Waffen-SS for two-three years at the time the Lapland War started. But he prefered to stick with the nazis while they burned and pillaged their way through northern Finland.
I just have to appreciate the effort you guys put in this channel! There's a worldwide pandemic going on and you still provide great content for your fans using the means available, so please don't worry about the quality of audio/video. And I love it that Soldier of 3 Armies is going to be a trilogy! It's always special to hear about my own home country Finland. It was also nice to see Joakim again 😊 Stay healthy guys!
Thank you very much! It is a difficult time for all of us. Stay safe!
The 5 types of personal relations to communism:
- Love it
- Like it
- Dislike it
- Hate it
- Lauri Törni
Dude served in 3 Armies, just to kill as many Reds as possible.
There are 6 levels of hatred
Dislike
Hatred
Hundred Years War
Roman-Carthaginian blood feud
Dwarf stuck on a boat with an elf holding a dragon egg
Törni
Select your team to fight against communists:
Finland
Germany
USA
Törni: "Yes."
USA: So you killed some soviet soldiers, as a Finn and a German soldier?
Lauri: they are not "soldiers" or people, they are communists
US: oh...wanna kill commies in a Jungle?
Lauri: 💥u💥
@gillecroisd 92 speak white
*member of the Waffen-SS, not a german soldier.
@@gilbertthebushwacker8704 are Finns black all of a sudden?
@@johnathanblackwell9960 They're sort of a puce, last I checked.
@@lilwyvern4 Last time I checked their genetic make up is almost entirely from the pontic steppe like the rest of the Indo-European peoples. The outlier is their finno-Urgic language which oddly enough has more surviving Indo-European words than any other European language.
"You merely adopted anti-communism. I was born in it. Molded by it." Lauri Törni, probably.
My grandfather Sulo Kuirinlahti was part of Detachment Törni from the first moment and was one of 3 surviving from the original company (i think the history says 2 but grandfather told me they were 3). I asked him if it was true that Mauno Koivisto (Became President of Finland in the 80s) was also part of Detachment Törni, he replied that "yes but e was only there for 9 months". Im very proud of what these men and my grandfather did for Finland.
Wasn't the pres also in white death's camp?
Not only was he a solider under 3 Flags. He was a early member of the Green Berets in the 1950's. He is currently buried in Arlington Cemetery with honors. Look up his Wikipedia page. He is very much respected among any person in the US SOF. He was in his 40's when he got his beret. He was the inspiration for the character that John Wayne played in the movie The Green Berets. He has a building named after him at Fort Carlson home of the 10th Special Forces.
There's a really good book called "Surprise, Kill, Vanish" all about US covert operations and it talks extensively about Larry Thorne. What a legend. Seriously. He's like a Finnish version of Richard Marcinko.
Omg I love it that you are doing this over Skype. That's enthusiasm and devotion. Keep it up and stay safe!
Isolation is only slowing us down, not stopping us ;)
Isolation is only slowing us down, not stopping us ;)
@@SabatonHistory Its so good, you said it twice. 😃
@@philiphalpin1997 That's Joakim and Indy each
The man LITERALLY went to war within THREE armies in TWO generations to face ONE enemy. It doesn't get more badass than that.
He also chose to fight with germany against Finland, so not just one enemy.
@@lavrentivs9891 Stop spreading your propaganda, your claim got debunked already.
@@lacciful By whom?
Edit: Also, how exactly am I supposed to stop writing something I wrote two weeks ago?
Rest of the world - you can only Join one Army and bleed for one country
Lauri - hold my Stein
Lauri Törni really deserve 3 episode since surviving one war is already a something, while willingly to go to 3 war in 3 diferent army is really something.
I'm impressed you guys managed to pull off an episode of this quality even during the Corona lockdown, thumbs up!
Cheers!
Nobody:
Not a single person:
Not even the ghost of Conrad von Hotzendorf:
Finland during World War 2: *produces the greatest sniper known to man, a literal personification of hatred of communism, amd the first military smackhead*
@Phi6er His name was Aimo Koivunen. Long story short, his ski patrol unit got attacked by Soviets, and be got separated from them. He was also carrying the units entire ration of Pervitin (meth used to stay awake on duty), but was too panicked to get one pill out so he just took all 30. What followed was a 1-2 week long bender where he should have died several times over, getting injuries including stepping on a landmine, and skiing for over 250 miles before making it to a Finnish hospital and being admitted. I think his heart rate was measured somewhere around 200bpm and he weighed 94 pounds by the end of it all
Humans are fookin mad
Lauri Torni was like Rambo - his war has never ended
One of the most underrated Sabaton Songs
Underrated? It's one of the best anti-communist song ever made
I remember visiting his grave in Arlington cemetery a couple years back, sadly he didn’t rise from beyond his grave
Not yet he didnt
he doesnt belong there
Obviously you aren't Communist enough.
There's only one way to rez him. Unfortunately, it involves reading the Communist Manifesto out loud while blasting the USSR anthem, and he'll probably strangle you the second he revives...
@@TerrellThomas1971 He absolutely does and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.
The term 'war crazy' describes him quite well. Years ago when I heard this song the first time, I asked my mother whether she knew the man; she did, described him as a man who liked fighting, I don't think it was about national glory for Lauri. I think he just wanted to fight,
As a history buff, there aren't many songs by Sabaton that surprise me with a story I didn't know, This one's one of those exceptionsm, so, finally glad to see this one (and in 3 parts!!).
Just wanted to say "Thanks!", great episode as always, keep up the great work and stay safe!
You too!
Someone: I like red.
Tömi: you are already dead
America: so you actively fought against the allies in both Finland and in Germany the latter serving one of the most evil regimes on the face of this earth that killed a total of 11 million civilian
Toüri: I was fighting communist
America: you're in the army now
He even chose the SS over his native Finland.
@Finnish Guy When the Lapland war started, Törni sided with the nazis, not Finland.
@Finnish Guy Got a reputable source for that number?
@Finnish Guy So no source that you would want to openly admit to?
@Finnish Guy Just saying, the Black Book of Communism has thoroughly been debunked en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Book_of_Communism#Criticism
Even if it were true, arguments can be said that capitalism has killed more people at a higher rate (sample video explaining that here: ruclips.net/video/KKK6_1OqUAI/видео.html )
Yes, there are arguments against leftist beliefs (And I say this as an anarcho-communist), but to exaggerate numbers doesn't do any debate good.
A Swede acknowledging they understand Danish? Is that not high treason over there across the Øresund?
He understands it so when Sweden takes back Denmark there won't be a language barrier!
@@xanpenguin754 Don't worry. I got my beating stick ready. And no cheating by walking over the ice again. Fight like men. If you want to figureskate, go to the olympics.
@@Kar4ever3 Is that a Humon reference I see? satwcomic.com/the-law-is-the-law
@@RannonSi Not really. Just a meme. English got the same with the Scots. Humon is coll though. She hits the nail on the head sometimes. Also a referrence to history, when the Swedes walked across the ice, hauling canons etc to invade.
Reading is easier than hearing, i'm afraid!
We are happy and glad that beyond all the difficulties we are facing you continue to give us perfect quality content. Thank you greetings from Greece 🙏
Thank you for watching! :)
Finnish folk humor during the winterwar. There are so many of them and we are so few where should we bury them all :-)
like for Ryan!!!!
Americans say they hate communism
Törni: "Hold my vodka."
Vodka? You mean kosken?
Yeah those were some tough times.
I love you guys for not stopping to supply us with historical stories and entertaining content. Thank you especially now that Torni is in question, he is my absolute idol and I look up to him. I am an 18 year old marksman and wrestler. I will soon be joining the Serbian Army and hope I fight a war during my lifetime. I am also looking up to my ancestors and serbian war culture. For me, victory in combat means everything. Thanks once more, and cheers to sabaton music for always being there to support my fighter morale! Живјела побједа златна!
I love that you guys are still doing this for us during quarantine
You're welcome!
Aaaah yes, the story behind one of my favorite songs! I love the Sabaton History Channel so much.
Thanks for watching!!
The most honorable awards/medals: Medal of Honor, Iron Cross, Cross of Mannerheim, last but not least: Sabaton writing a badass song about you
Indy, a historian: *mentiones winter war and stalins motivations*
Guys who played HOI4 once: WeLl AcTuAlLy
Me: loses to finland as SU
@@AlexGNR *Happy Törni noises*
-Hello friend, here all of us hate commies, now how much do you hate commies?
-My name is Lauri Allan Törni.
-Oh, I didn't know, sorry I asked.
"Ok, more hatred than the U.S. had for the Japanese"
Soldier of three armies is probably one of my top favorite Sabaton songs, and the story behind is just incredible as well. Thank you for posting videos even in these difficult times, hope you are well!!! (And btw, i think that video quality is still really good)
One of my favourite songs from the Heroes' album, though all of them are great.
When I saw the first few seconds, I was like ´´No, are they using Zoom?´´, but then I heard Skype and I was like ´´Oh thank god´´. I prefer Discord, but Skype is still good.
Edit: Also, you have nothing to worry about, Joakim. Nothing will happen if you reveal your home address. You'll just receive books and other stuff to help you write a new song. I mean, I think that Sabaton fans aren't insane enough to go and visit your place.
Well, I've witnessed some crazy shit during my life, and I think it's good to remember that even though we here on the comment section have nothing but respect for the man, there still are millions of other people out there. It wouldn't be nice if someone unstable, who thinks Joakim spreads fascist ideas for example, shows up on his doorstep. Not to mention the possibility of unstable women lurking under his bedroom window and singing about sucking his metal machine. You never know what's going on in people's heads and therefore anything is possible.
I mean... we won't go and visit him now, but knowing how crazy we can be...
@John Wood till he got a lead in a head
@@TheMmus yep, people are random as fuck, especially the Anonymity of the internet. Stay safe fellas
TBH I would probbably send him some joke items like dildo with a tank badly drawn at the tip
Larry Thorne is memorialized at 10th SF Group Headquarters at Fort Carson Colorado....a legend among us 10th Group SF Troopers
Yeah, bad infrastructure is a logistical nightmare, i learned it from hoi4
Some1 needs to make a blockbuster movie about törni.
No. Americans would ruin it.
Love to see how dedicated you are to your fans and to know more about our brothers and sisters from Finland ^-^
Thanks! Stay safe!
Years pass, but the song still gives me chills. The history of the man is surreal.
Absolutely!
Not even the COVID-19 pandemic can keep Sabaton History from telling the world of such history. Thank you for taking the time to post the first part of Lauri Allan Torni. I look forward to seeing what the next two episodes bring forth.
You're welcome!
15:15 I heard "rock fairy" and imagined a tiny punk rock girl with insect wings
My favourite song and it's covered in multiple parts. This is great.
Both Simo and Lauri are unstoppable forces. True badasses from Finland on a world stage.
I'd love to get Born A Soldier one of these days.
I found not long ago a book in Icelandic about a woman who served in the Soviet Union era during the Fatherland wars and was one of the few who got high promotion
If I knew I could have sent it to Joakim to read, I'd have bought it for him
My grandfather born in Viipuri,and he served same place and defended Finland with infinite power.(We called Sisu)Peace for them.
Thank you to for this film, Nice to See Indy Made it Back home for Timeghost HQ, Please Stay safe and when this Lock down is Over you right an Song about it
You too!
It's so amazing to see you all doing great and that you're healthy! The work you put into this channel is impeccable! Keep it up and stay safe!!
I didn’t expect a video conference episode but I am not complaining
My grandma had to leave Karelia back then. Also, Happy Veterans Day to all Finnish veterans
Keeping it going in lock down.... nice!
Who else already got excited about not one, but two episodes on Gallipoli and the aces in exile?
And now, an official Sabaton History trilogy! I don’t know why, but there's something about trilogies… there are a lot of great ones out there. Anyway, this is already a great episode! There is (imho) absolutely no need to make apologies about Skype, thank goodness it's all possible and we can still enjoy those amazing stories and videos!
So what’s next? 13 episodes on the art of war? ;)
I'm glad to see you guys in good health! Stay safe and keep up the good work, wherever you film it.
Despite quarantine, the episode is as good as always. Well done
Thanks!
This is one of my favorite Sabaton songs, and I love that it's being split into three. Thanks Indy, Pär and Joachim for giving this legend the respect he deserves.
Ivor Thord-Gray, he managed 13 war, in 6 armys on four continents.
Soviet Soldier: Thank god, the Fins withdrew, I can finally have some rest and relax-
Lauri Torni: *BUENOS DIAS COMMIE*
*Sometime In Vietnam*
Lauri Torni: Benis!!!!
Commies: Blyaaaaaaat!!!!! The hell's a Finnish Man Doing Here!
I am so excited that it is a trilogy about the three armies! You guys could not have made it better! Congrats on keeping the superb work even in these conditions were are living in.
Thank you very much! :)
Thanks guys for doing your best =) -Support from Finland
Thanks! Stay safe!
Dude Ive been waiting for this specific song. FOR SO LONG!
I am so happy you are doing a history mini series on this song i think its a great tale and i love the song
Gotta love this song
I shamefully neglected this channel in the past few weeks while you guys were creating content even in the quarantine. Thank you, I'll close up in no time.
I have to admit, I've always overlooked this song somehow, I mean it's good, but not amng my favorites. Maybe because I wasn't that interested in the story of Törni either. But now, with such details and insight, it picked up my curiosity.
And Joakim, you totally can make your home address public as a world-famous rockstar. Of course nothing can go wrong at all. :P
Welcome back!
I love you guys 😂 thanks so much for giving us content even in this quarantine time you’re all so amazing!!!
Thank you! stay safe! :)
Notification squad reporting as ordered to SHOUT LAURI THÖRNI'S NAME
This is probably the best episode so far
Always admired Lauri's courage , commitment and hatred to communism , just as like me , my country Philippines is in grave danger of Communist China's expansion but NO , not on my dead body.
Awesome to see that you guys continue to make content for us even though you're in lockdown. Thankyou so much you guys :D
Naturally! You're welcome!
Yes! One of my favorite Sabaton songs. And a trilogy? You gentlemen have fulfilled my wishes 110%. :)
Glad to see you all staying safe and still doing the video! And thanks for doing one of my favorite songs! I can't wait for the next parts. All about the man who hated red so much he probably bled white out of spite.
Can't wait to see you guys in St. Louis in September, hope you guys love this city
Doesn't matter how good/bad the production is, good to hear from you guys!
So happy that you guys are still finding a way to keep your channel going through these unpredictable times for our world, love the channel and Sabaton's music. Hope everyone involved and all those who watch these episodes stays safe and well 👍
I love what you guys are doing. We're just happy to be learning the stories behind our favorite songs. Perhaps when all this is over, it will be part of remembered history as well...you think?
I always wanted an episode about this song, thank you. Now ill have something to look forward to during lockdown
The only soldier decorated for gallantry in three separate armies. A good three-part episode needed to explain Lauri's career. Maybe I should give you my spare copy of "My Brave Boys."
Awesome video as always guys.
Can't wait for parts 2 and 3.
Glad you're still able to upload despite this verdamn virus!
This is why I love this channel. Even with the lockdown the quality is great.
I love this channel as well. It is very accurate.
Thanks!
0:58 Best pronunciation of Finnish names, I've ever heard from someone not Finnish. It's very very good.
Just noted the Part 1 when you went on the mind stream.
Great video. Informative, entertaining and fill of energy.
Thank you Drew
Indy, I love the Nolan Ryan with Robin Ventura in a headlock picture. Nice touch! I miss baseball.
Great photo that Indy should comment on some time. For those who aren't familiar, during a 1993 game Robin Ventura charged the mound after getting hit by a pitch, but Nolan Ryan put him in a headlock and gave him a one sided beat down. By the way, Robin is a very nice guy with a great sense of humor who has been happy to good naturedly sign copies of that photo at White Sox fan events for years.
thank you guys for keeping youself safe and continuing to do these episodes! i love this show. take care!
Thanks! Stay safe and cheers!
Appreciate you guys still doing these videos with lockdown
Glad you guys are still making these videos from home
Of course:) thanks Indy!
What's the worst that can happen with Joakim's address? He'll probably get enough books to retire and open a quiet little history bookstore in Stockholm, called Sabaton History. Right next to Indy's tie shop.
and maybe a little shrine outside with a T34 on it. Noting major to worry about.
Simple history made a video for Torni, the guy was a beast/mad man lol. Cool video, keep up the good work
Thanks!
Amazing story and great song. Patiently awaiting part 2
Uhh I've been waiting for this for a loooong time, thanks Indy and thanks Joakim
Huh I really need to find a way to send Joakim a copy of Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee. I don't think they've written any songs of the American-Indian wars. I think the Battle of the Greasy Grass would be a good place to start.
I dont care about video quality. Indy's voice could be coming through an old timey crackly radio and i'd still tune in!
Sabaton and stay safe and Rock on
I have been waiting for this. I have noticed that many "soldier of 3 armies"-videos have so much errors....I know you will do good job with this!
One thing many miss is that Lauris training in Germany had him think less of german army in whole. He thought the SS training a joke.
