called "Soldier under three flags" about a guy who served in the finish war
spent some time in the waffen ss finish legion and wound up in the USA in the green berret in Viet Nam but was killed out there,, in the back of the book is a picture of his memorial sevice in America with a photo of him
in his US uniform and a pillow with all his decorations on it including Finish American and his Iron Cross bizar

Hello Stefan! I know the story. His real name is Lauri Törni. He is one of our war heroes in this country. After officerschool he was serving in SS as an Untersturmfuhrer for a some time , but he came back to Finnish front because of the continue war and he was a great leader of the company. Even one of our ex Precident was under his command. and so on you know the rest if you have read hte book.

That's the guy so it must all be true then,,some one said the film the green beret the John Wayne version is loosely based on him but that might be bull

I read the book some time ago fascinating how life can turn out for some people if I remember after the Soviet /Finish truce he went back to Germany and saw some action on the Easter front but where and with what unit the book does not say as it was written by a friend of his based on what he knew from conversations with Lauri
still all the best and might see you over here if you come to any of our splendid shows in the summer

I won't have that! There is only one true hero of Finland and that is Ari Vatenen!!

Yes you are right about Ari Vatanen, but do you mean rally or European parliament?
