Lauri Törni AKA Larry Thorne was a Finnish soldier who dedicated his life to fighting and killing Russians. After the Winter War between Finland and Russia, he went to Germany and joined the waffen ss and VOLUNTEERED for the Russian Front. After WW II, believing that the next war against Russia would be waged by the United States, he immigrated to the US and joined the Army. He rose in rank quickly due to his experience, and ended up commanding MAC-V SOG in Vietnam, before he died in a helicopter crash while commanding a mission to find and eliminate VC troops in Laos.
He defected from germany, went home to finland and went back into Finnish service during the continuation war.
Amazing!
@@v3tReacts The man was high speed low drag.
@@darkiee69 Törni did not defect. There were too many officers, so bunch of them were sent back home. Mostly those who were not so good in speaking germany.
He didn´t want to kill "Russians" per say he wanted to kill communism..and during communist era Russia where not Russia it was Soviet Union...be careful with words words thry are the only thing that differences humans from animals..! Also most leading party members during Soviet era wasn´t Russians they where from the "chosen tribe" JUICE or JOOOSS ;)..!
The only former SS officer at Arlington National Cemetery.
We were wondering if he was SS, TY for the information :D
@@v3tReacts interesting note, all foreign volunteers to the German army had to swear into the SS on joining - even if they held zero actual belief in the Nazi party (something Lauri didn’t care for, he just hated the Soviets that much).
The reason they done this was it forced the foreign volunteers into a unbeknownst suicide pact - it pretty much forced them to fight to the end, as SS soldiers were rarely taken prisoner on the Eastern Front. In addition, when the war started to turn on Germany, it pretty much meant that once the crimes of the Nazi party were discovered, any and all SS would be charged under such war crimes. So those volunteers who had all be sworn in as SS would be charged similar.
In essence your life at home is now ruined as everyone would consider you a Nazi and war criminal if you survived. They also knew if taken prisoner they be tried under allied or soviet jury - if you were tried under the Soviets you could pretty much consider yourself dead if you had “any” officiation with the SS - and by the end of the war if allied soldiers or soviet soldiers caught you, you had a high chance of facing deadly reprisals (yes both allied and Soviets soldiers would shoot surrender SS prisoners especially after stuff such as the concentration camps were found and when they would come upon hanged and beaten to death men and boys who had refused conscription in the final defence of Germany) as such the SS volunteers were put in a hard place, and by the end of the war many of these units would fight to the end - fun fact of history, during the final assault of Berlin, the Reichstag was defended by primarily French SS Volunteers. At least two thirds of the buildings defenders were volunteer troops from France.
@@reecedignan8365 Charlemagne Legion if I remember well
@@v3tReacts Those finns who went to germany was supposed to join wermacht or air force. All kinds of branches to learn modern warfare. Then politics came in the way - You go to the ss. There were politically oriented men among them for sure - Törni was not one of them. Törni was sent back to finland with bunch of other officers, there were too many off them. He did not see any action there untill he went back and joined to the german special forces after peace was made betweeen Finland and Russia.
Cross of Mannerheim is one of the highest Finnish medals, the iron cross is one of the highest German medals, and the bronze star purple heart and distinguished flying cross are all American medals
True, my granddad got twice Cross of Mannerheim and he got Iron Cross too. And hey nice reaction! Stay safe!
@@elaa.k.juutilainen5450 Ace whit 90+ kills ? Illu Juutilainen !! Suuri SANKARI !!

@@sixtuspettersson6059 Interesting!
A little fun fact,, in the book and movie ”the Green Berets” John Wayne’s character is based on Lauri Törni.
I think the whole us army is bases on him lol
LMAO
@@Yyr85 Finland scout training is based on him as he was a scout he cuold be used thou sinper as well
The white death was named Simo Häyhä, and he was Finnish, not german. And he's still the sniper with most kills. Vassilij Zaitsiev was a russian sniper. Made famous in the west through the movie Enemy at the gates.
the movie and ofcourse the sabaton song: White Death ;)
we will hit that song asap
505 confirmed kills in just a 100 days period. Just saying...
And btw... those kills only with he's rifle, they didnt count smg and other guns for that but they speak its about 700+
@@touho6667 Don't forget iron sites too!
Larry thorne hated communism so much that he decided to fight in 3 armies :)
191 Mannerheim Crosses were given to our great soliders. All have passed away now. Latest was last year.
I think it was given to 192 people and some got more than one...?
Well timed. It was 55 years ago on the 18th of October when his helicopter went down in Vietnam.
WOW thats crazy and VERY RESPECTABLE!! SALUTE!
You guys should do "En livstid i krig" live from Sabaton and activate the captions. You will be amazed.
I will add it to the list.

No man and history fought communism more. God bless Finland 🇫🇮.
Indeeed!!!🤘🤘💯🤘🤘
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauri_T%C3%B6rni
One of the most famous Finnish soldiers. I guess a pretty passionate anti-communist. The Distinguished Flying Cross was awarded as he died in a helicopter (in Vietnam).
AHHH ty makes sense
His story always gets me right in the feels, fights defending his country in the winter war, stays in the continuation war all to go to Vietnam and meet his fate. RIP Larry Thorne.
RIP Lauri Törni. He only changed his name because it was convenient
Man you guys should react to some of the sabaton history vids there you can learn a lot from both the songs and the history behind it!!
It was a paid request from the live last friday.
He really hated commies. Who doesn't.
We had a patrol base in Bosnia called Lauri. That was our way to thank Lauri Törni. I'm finnish.
Merry christmas too you guys ! Great reactions !!🎄🎄🎄🇫🇮🇸🇪🇺🇸
Thank you! You too!
The Distinguished Flying Cross is a military decoration awarded to any officer or enlisted member of the United States Armed Forces who distinguishes himself or herself in support of operations by "heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight,
Thank you for another well done reaction.
Thank you too!
Distinguished Flying Cross is an award from the US Military for heroism while participating in any aerial flight
Not only was he highly decorated in life, in death he was the only member of the waffen SS to be buried in Arlington, ever
Just respect for you all guys and all veterans. Greetings from metal Raven. Netherlands
Listen to Sabaton - White Death, thats about the sniper
We gonna hit it.
You mentioned Vassily but forgot about the most deadly sniper in history... who also fought in the winter war.
He isn't deadliest sniper in history , new record is I think above 1000 kills and he had around 500 but he did do it without any optics on he's rifle
@@ninocuric5290 look at the time frame as well. 100 days 500 kills.
@@ninocuric5290 His over 500 is the highest kill count. I think you are mixing over 1000 to longest kill.
Awesome info here guys!
Sorry my bad he is he had 545 kills next on the list is Vasili Kvachantiradze with 534 kills
When the world war was over and he came back to Finland the court decided that he has breaking the law and went to prison, first for 6 years for treason. He tried to escape and actually managed to go pretty far before got caught. But after all he was in the prison for like 1 year before president pardon him to parole ( not sure the word). Right after he got the parole, he went to Sweden for couple of years and met his fiance. They moved to USA, did what he did there to earn his rank. Lauri changed his name to Larry and went to vietnam as captain. Chopper got shot down and all the crew went missing, including Lauri. Lauris grave is in the Arlington National Cemetery. "Major Larry Thorne - Finnish soldier who fought the Soviet Army during the Winter War and the Continuation War, immigrated to the United States after World War II and joined the US Army under the Lodge-Philbin Act. 10th Group honors him yearly by presenting the Larry Thorne Award to the best Operational Detachment-Alpha in the command" Also the Main building of the 10th Special Forces Group is named after Larry Thorne and also yearly awarded trophy by him. In Finland he were ranked as reserve Captain, but lost his rank after years. In German SS he was Captain and in US army he was Major. Got plenty of different medals in every army. Respect to this guy
At the end of the list you can even find "Major Lauri Törni, USA: Veteran of the Finnish Army, Waffen SS during World War II and U.S. Army Special Forces in Vietnam."
great song, great story.
indeed it was
Lauri Allan Törni🇫🇮 alias Larry Thorne 🇫🇮🇫🇮😍

Would be interesting for you guys to take a look at ”Wehrmach” eventually. Sabaton is a literal gold mine for anyone with an interest in military history.
They don't even know where the guy was from....a hint. NOT A GERMAN.
Thanks We figured that out why its called a reaction no pre planning..
In Finland everybody serves still. That time when red army attacked we gotta go!
Thank you all for your service!
Great song! Hope y'all had a good weekend.
If you haven't seen it yet, I think you'd like 7 pillars of wisdom by Sabaton!
We will!
Its Finnish man who fought on 3 armies :D
Name is Lauri Törni aka Larry Thorne.
Sniper best of the world is again from Finland.
Name is Simo Häyhä.
The sniper you are thinking about s Simo Häyhä another bad ass finn ;-)
Yeah, we get those skull mask's used as ass wipes here in the military. Didn't know one can use it as face protection. Simo Häyhä was the greatest sniper in WW2
He was portrayed by John Wayne in the movie "the Green Berets"!
The guy talk about changed his name to Larry Thorn as it was easier to pronounce his name. He was also considered a traitor to his own people after WW2.
Im here bros
What up
Could you guys check out some HammerFall? I got few picks, One of A Kind, The Unforgiving Blade, Crimson Thunder.
Added them to the list always down for new songs.
Ah finnish guy, he just didnt know when to stop, and like most of us, had too much social anxiety to ask.
White Death s the sniper your thinking about Wickster.
Thank you
please check out some of the Sabaton Great Tour live recordings, they have a whole playlist of badass live songs.
we will hit it up
@@v3tReacts hell yeah bro 🤘
G'day guys! Lauri Torni "Soldier of 3 Armies" in this, Simo Hayha "White Death" was the sniper. Simo and 32 other Finns held against 5000 Russians! The DFC was English and American - usually for Air Force and Navy aircrew but also for airborne or heli-borne soldiers. note: Estonians and remnants of the Wehrmacht resisted the Russians until 1946 and were finally threatened with nukes! My Great Uncle was in the Boer War (underage), WW1 and WW2 ( "too old" - not!) - over 100 y.o. and the gas from 1917 finally got him.
Have you guys go done price of a mile and ballad of bull from sabaton?
Water sound is back
......
Correct me if im wrong, but isnt the SF Base at Fort Bragg named after him? Larry Thorn?
You all should try Rorke's Drift
One of the best underated songs
SPECIAL JAGER, GUERILLA WARFARE.
The Carolean’s Prayer is about a swedish army In 1682, King Charles XI started to reorganize the Swedish army, which proved to be rather weak in the Scanian wars. Each province was bound by contract to raise and supply a regiment of 1200 men, called Caroleans. They were trained to not open fire until they could see the white of their enemies eyes.
People say commies are good? This guy joined three armies and fought three different wars to kill commies. He is actually the only soldier interned in Arlington who served as a warden SS officer.
If you want song about snipers there is Ghost in the Trenches (Native Canadian) and White death (Finish lika LAT)
Yo found this when looking for the song. Is thd guy in the middle shad?
Lauri Torni was the embodiment of "how much do you hate communists? .... Yes"
Lauri törni died 18 oktober 1965 in Vietnam

Story of Lauri Törni aka Larry Thorne...
Asked grandfather Sulo Kuirinlahti (member of Detachment Törni during 1942-1944) once, can you tell anything from the vinterwar, what do you want to know he said I do not know what you have experienced so it is difficult for me to ask anything specific.
He started by saying, you can't understand in your wildest imagination how horrible it is in war if you haven't participated in it yourself.
Then he told me that during the winter war at Tolvajärvi (Finland's first victory over the Russians during the vinter war) that they were waiting on the beach for a strike, the Russian came over the frozen lake in green uniforms!
Grandpa said that they were easy to kill, but they were so many and then hes lips trembled, he was 84 years at the time!
Talk about bad memories, he died at the age of 86.
This happend long before Detachment Törni were formed. That i told about few weeks ago.
I have grandfather's old front cards, so I know this is true.
Simo Hayha was the Sniper.
They didn't fear death they kept on marching forward to the enemy
Or could it be Lyudmila Pavlicenko aka Lady Death the deadliest woman sniper over 300 Germans killed , and there is a Finish sniper Withe Death who killed 500 Soviets in Winter war and he used a regular rifle no optics
hmmmm
You guys need to watch Sabaton's history channel. ruclips.net/video/iTnAqE5tp-U/видео.html
Törni was a scout and second highest bounty haver for his head till his death only behind simo häyhä/hayha white death he was a sniper who idn't use scope's and only eate sugar as nutrations
White death 32million ruples
Törni 30million ruples
In world war 2 many people in the north of europe joined the german army specifically because of the promise to be able to fight the red army.
For finlands case russia saw finland as part of russia finland saw them selves as there own nation.
To hell and back is a must for you guys, its about Audie Murphy the most distinguished U.S. soldier of ww2
They already have - ruclips.net/video/UOuTuDcERIs/видео.html&ab_channel=Wickster
^^ haha
he died in a special task in vietnam for you americans
you know the german unit (?) of 4 that is 1 guy or something who joined 3 armies to kill....
Lauri Törni to his comrades in Vietnam: Hey, did I ever tell you about how I served in the Waffen SS?
Someone really hate Sovjets. There is a Movie called Unknown Soldier about him i think. Maybe you check it out ) :)
🎄🎄🎄
The only former member of the SS buried in Arlington National Cemetery
SHOUT!
LAURI TÖRNI'S NAME!
Its not so easy. Indeed I dont know if he wanted to be at war, but it seems like war wanted him. I suggest you take a look about the Vid from "Sabaton History", because its a REALLY long story.
I don`t think anybody wanted to be in a war, but this guy recogniced the threat of the Nazis and was comitted to participate in stopping it. my 2 cents.
Lauri Allan Törni later known as Larry Alan Thorne, was a Finnish born American soldier who fought under three flags: as a Finnish Army officer in the Winter War and the Continuation War ultimately gaining a rank of captain; as a Waffen-SS captain (under the alias Larry Lane) of the Finnish Volunteer Battalion of the Waffen-SS when he fought the Red Army on the Eastern Front in World War II; and as a United States Army Major (under the alias "Larry Thorne") when he served in the U.S. Army Special Forces in the Vietnam War.
See his story here: ruclips.net/video/5vxwTR5rmbc/видео.html
Thank you for this and for watching 😎 🤘🎄🎄🤘
Finnish born Finnish soldier*. Only moved to US because it was the most appealing/convenient option for him at that time.
If you want to know more about the songs go to Sabbaton history.
Joined Finnish army to fight Soviets.
Joined Waffen-SS to fight Soviets.
Joined US Green Berets to fight communists.
Current location: NORAD secret bunker, held in secret cryo-stasis in case of a communist resurgence.
Alternative location: Hell Special Forces, leading a task force to purge even afterlife of communist influence.
A german sniper??? Also he has an english name also: "larry thorne" even i knew his name in finnish and english before i started history in school
Whose the guy in the middle? He reminds me of someone but I can't place it.
Fun fact, in the movie Green Berets John Wayne actually plays the character who is based on Larry Thorne. There are many clips of him on RUclips, just look up "Phantom Soldiers".Here's his whole story; ruclips.net/video/iTnAqE5tp-U/видео.html
Check out the sabaton history channel on you tube. 10-20 minute videos on a lot of their songs
i look at em after I react to em lol

Thank you
Since you mentioned the sniper so many times, please react to White Death by Sabaton as well ruclips.net/video/mFxPHqM4pks/видео.html
The iron Cross was like the German Medal of honor, the flying cross i believe was awarded to people who preform extraordinary duties in the air force or airborne i believe, and being the Green Berret are Airborne. I think he was awarded the Flying cross because Lauri Allen Torni was RTB from a mission in Vietnam and hus Helicopter got hit and crashed in the mountains or jungles and no one knew where he crashed and then they found it like in 1980s 90s and thats when they awarded him the Flying Cross if I remember
it awesome what he did
@@v3tReacts its awesome what you guys do, thank you guys for your service, keep up the amazing work!
The man who hated Soviet communists the most in all of history?
he just really...really hated commies
You need to read about what the song is talking, you made so much mistakes, please read about the sinopsis before reacting to the song
Wont ever be prepared for a reaction
