The description of the film is totally wrong! The film is about a unit of swedish speaking finns during WWII. It is based on the memoirs of one of the soldiers. The one that is shown as an old man, played by himself. The unit made several recon patrols into enemy territory. And in 1944 they stopped the Soviet attack at a key point on the Karelian isthmus at Tienhaara. The commander of the unit colonel Alpo Marttinen moved to the USA after the war and joined the USA army. He served from 1947 until 1968 reaching the rank of colonel.

Not a Swedish film. This fantastic film is not a Swedish film, but Finnishswedish. There are a few Swedish actors, but all important roles are played by Swedishfinnish or Finnish actors. Please note that Finnishsweden is the part of the Finnish population that is swedish-speaking. The film is produced in Finland by a Finnish director, most of the actors are from Finland. The music is composed by a Finnish citizen. Much of the dialogue is in the beautiful-sounding Swedish dialect known as Finnishswedish.
From Wikipedia Beyond the Front Line (Swedish: Framom främsta linjen, Finnish: Etulinjan edessä) is a 2004 Finnish war film directed by Åke Lindman. The film is based on the diaries of Swedish-speaking Finnish soldiers who served in the Continuation War in 1942-1944.
Finland has about 5% swedish speaking minority, who have inhabitated Finland since 1100's - and who are as finnish as any finnish speaking. This movie tells about their involvements in 40's.
… This is a Finnish film, but there is a lot of Swedish spoken, because the film tells the story of the Finnish Swedish Infantry Regiment 61 in the so-called Finnish Continuation War 1941-1944.
its a movie about the Finnish Winter war against the Soviets and that a minority in Finland speaks Swedish and Sumi doesn't make it into US university curiculums as they are busily fucking up gender studies.
@@p40148 of course the finns with swedish mothertounge fought for finnland like all other finnish citizens. but there was also the swedish volunteer corps with over 8000 swedish, 700 norwegian and 600 danish citizens fighting on the finish side. i think the unit in the video could be either of the 2 forces.

As a result of this war, Finland gave Karelia to Russia. By the way, the Finns were commanded in this war by a general of the Russian Imperial Guard, the bodyguard of the last Russian emperor. In 1944, Finland, realizing that Germany was losing, went over to Russia and thereby avoided occupation.
The Swedish volunteer corps in Finland during the Winter War (1939-1940) mainly used the standard equipment of the Swedish army, including helmets. They often wore the Swedish m/26 helmet, which was a steel helmet designed to provide protection against shrapnel and other battlefield damage. As above too during the Continuation War (1941-1944)
Another detail in this film is that he Finnish machine guns used fabric belts for the ammunition. Cloth belts were common during that time and were used to feed the ammunition into the machine gun. But do't let thoses film technical details affect the film. The black and white photographs are authentic, so are the black and white film clips. I think they have succeeded well in portraying what happened to these particular men.🙃
Yes, and the Finns too. They bought a lot of gear from the German before the war started. In fact, the Finns where helped by the German agains the Russian.
Being of Norwegian decent I can understand a couple words these Swedes in Finland are speaking but I’d like English subtitles cause there’s lots of good acting.
Both languages, finnish speaking finnish, swedish speaking swedish. Finnish-Swedish speaking mixed based on Finnish and Swedish-Finnish mixed too but based on Swedish 🤗 Rabote bratja, Ura!
тяжело вам будет с русскими воевать, если в фильмах показываете, что русские воевать не умеют совсем. даже в голливуде не такие тупые фильмы делают, как этот.
Не первый раз, когда русские соседнюю дружественную нацию делают своими врагами. Русским все земли мало. Хотя за спинами русских Россию обживают тюрки и китайцы.
Если бы не глупое финское правительство, войны можно было легко избежать. Надо было лишь отодвинуть границу от Ленинграда на 30 км. В обмен за это получая территорию в 3 раза больше на другом месте. Но наверное у них там тоже было достаточно дураков, как сейчас на Украине и им лучше было воевать и губить своих людей. Их же не жалко, бабы нарожают. А тут такая показуха... Главное не потерять свои теплые местечка и нажиться насчет войны. Как обычно : самые глупые идут в добровольцы и дохнут за отчизну , самые хитрые делают с этого бизнес и богатеют.
Yes But you comrades are not to be trusted especially Stalin who invaded Poland alongside Hitler, the Finns did what they had to do to keep their country from becoming a communist state and they did that because they had already seen how the communists butchered and starved their own people without so much as a second thought, so keep on kidding yourself, your just the descendants of murdering dogs spreading lies and bullshit, as for your army in its special military operation in Ukraine you were stopped by farmers and housewives and other civilians fighting alongside Ukraines soldiers with minimal weaponry before any western aid began to arrive, because of the corruption and incompetence of your own armies commanders and because they remember what happened to Ukraine under the communists the Holodomor was etched into their collective memories and they have no wish to see a repeat of that under your new Red Tsar Putin
Типичное мышление русского фашиста-империалиста! Я возьму то, что хочу, потому что я сильный! К счастью, и в Украине, и в Финляндии герои противостояли империалистическим русским убийцам и отправили многих из этих фанатиков в ад.

Sweden secretly informed Ukrainian government 5 hours ago, that 24 divisions of Elite Volunteers called VIKING-SS DIVISIONEN are being trained and will soon be secretly sent over to fight russia in ukraine, a total of 300,000 troopers, supported by 5,000 tanks, 10,000 howitzers, 3000 ML rocket systems, and supported by 2,000 helicopter gunships and ground attack aircraft. Swedish troops will specifically engage secret North Korean Army soldiers. The problem with Secret North Korean fighters are that they are invisible, because nobody actually saw them, but they are definitely there, all five million of them.
Are you dreaming? How do you know this ? When will it happen? The SS was a Nazi unit from Hitler's Second World War army. There were some Swedish and some Swiss men.
The movie doesn't match the description at all. It's another Finnish movie trying to overlook and forget how bad they lost. And how they were spared by a foolish Soviet government at the end. Had the Soviets dealt with them as they should have instead of sparing them .The Finns wouldn't be able to glory in these made up myth movies.
