Continuation War - Finnish Wars (RARE FOOTAGES)
These video footages are from Puolustusvoimat - Veteraanien perintö/Legacy of Our Veterans video, as watermark shows on the video. I do not own these clips. Video is about Continuation War during World War 2. This video is NON political and is purposed to show what was war looking as finnish military perspective. This is educational and has NO advertisment purpose.

My Land Finland
Ketktä Olevat Miheiä Tänään.?
Moi
Finns are the living embodiment of the quote "Ah shit here we go again" and they always deliver.
My great grandfather were the last ones to retreat from karelia, and he saw when Soviet Unions flag was raised to the flagpole of the viipuricastle. And he was just a kid at that time. And he fought the Germans too in Lapland war and saw his friend step on a mine and died. Vig respect for him❤
0:43 min is that a silencer on that rifle?
Its a flamethrower
It is a rifle grenade launcher most likely
Kaikki kunnioitus urheille sotiemme sankareille.
We must never forget the sacrifice that the Germans made for so many nation's in the East against the Soviet aggression 😢
Ok, but those are finnish soldiers in the video
On se ollut kovaa hommaa perkele
many years back, before learning of finlands "sub-wars" in the second world war years, i read somewhere about a unique aspect of the finnish army. in addition to typical soldiercraft such as marksmanship, infantry are trained to be familiar with and use bicycles and skis for military mobility. the world over this is rare, however this video really shows the advantages. financial concerns, ease of use, and appropriateness to local terrain were obviously all behind the decision to incorporate the cycle and cross country ski to military use in finland. in contrast the red army in huge tanks had trouble moving in the forests so the finns found another simple yet effective tool- the molotov cocktail (its name was a kind of f..you to stalins dirtbag diplomat v.molotov) props to the finns.....a strong proud people. a great vid. creme de la creme.

We did it! Finland remained independent. The rogue Soviet Union was left licking its fingers. This is also the case with the war in Ukraine: The rogue state loses and loses its value among the peoples!!!!
Never forget!
SISU PERKELE
Isoisäni, Kokkolan Reino oli yksi heistä monista.
Didnt know they had music videos back in them ww2 days.
🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
4:46 is that a 1911? , where did this man get a 1911 from? Perhaps it's a 1914 Kongsberg from Norway.
My grandmothers three uncles were in the war. One of them became a Mannerheimen cross knight, he alone destroyed 8 russian tanks in the peak of the continuation war. They all got killed though... How different my life would have been if the they didn't win the war...
Oliko hän korpraali Väisänen.
They didn't win the war😂
They fought, they bled, they lived and died, they lost and won. Let their deeds be remembered, no matter how, so long it must be.
Hyvä Suomi 🇫🇮
In my opinion, the most epic help we got from outside of Finland, was the Finnish americans who came unannounced in the first possible boat they could board.
A little fun fact some Canadian volunteers arrived almost at the same time with the American volunteers. Handful of them.
The west helped some in the winter war, but in the continuation war that was scarce because Germany was on our side.
@@vladolfputler5685You may mean the winter war.
@@herptek Still, the fact alone brings smile to my face every time I think about it.
@@Conradist In the winter war Swedes were the biggest international helpers in terms numbers of foreign volunteers fighting in the Finnish military. Overall foreign help was quite minimal. In the continuation war I believe it was Estonians who volunteered the most in the Finnish army. They had been unable to do that in the winter war as Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union, but in 1941 Germany allowed it after having gained control of the Baltics.
Nice footage!
These are great video footages of the fight. Never seen these before.
Herran jumala, nää on kovii äijii!
Hungarians were there too, brothers in arms freedom forever 🇫🇮🇭🇺 Beautiful video,thank you!
Both wonderful countries. Much respect from 🇺🇸. Hungary endured a lot.
The good old times.
@@CoolDay-kd6bg Don't judge it by the leaders. We, ordinary people, are not with them.
how the fuck are these films of such great quality
They use some kind of restoration tools to sharpen and enhance old pictures and videos.
@@olavi1114 it definitely works. Is there more of it? I'm currently researching the continuation war
@@jli136Apparently finnish national broadcasting company had bought high grade film cameras for the 1940 olympics that were supposed to be held in Finland. So instead they were used for filming the war.
@@Skelber lol. For real?
@@jli136 That is true.
German-style helmets?
Purchased either from Germany or from Hungary. Swedish type helmets were also used. In 1941 Finland was starting to be adequately equipped for war, what was to go down was a battle of gigantic proportions where the Russians could no longer concentrate all of their forces against Finland for a chance. In fact, they were in something of a trouble themselves now.
Finns used whatever they got their hands into. Also looted soviet helmets were used, though there's always a risk with that...
@@MS-Fin1917 If I remember right, Finnish Air Force had over 20 different planes from atleast ten different countries. Yes, anything they could get and use, they did.
Is it really that rare when the footage is from the finnish defense forces YT channel, who got it from YLE arvhieves that everyone can see? :D one is a YT channel other is a TV channel and both are ran by the state :D i quess thats not the point, just thought it was kinda funny.
No oikeessahan oot, mutta pitääkö aina päteä?😅
@@jerkkub Eihän toi nyt mitään pätemistä kunhan totesin :D meinasin vaan et sieltä ylen arkistoista löytyy paljon hyvää tavaraa!
@@Alexandros.Mograine Älä ny saa slaahii jäbä :D
@@Alexandros.Mograine Joojoo läppä oli :D
Kovia jätkiä.
Amazing video
Rakastan teitä sankarimme! Uhrasitte kaiken tämän maan puolesta.💙🇫🇮
Cold. Finland has some tough bastards.
Aunque somos muchos que vivimos fuera de Finlandia, pues nuestros ancestros emigraron de allí, siempre, la mente, las conversaciones, la familia y la sangre prima,... Estaremos a su servicio, cueste lo que cueste.. E imagino, hablo por muchos...
Kiitos🙏
Kyllä!!!!
Long live the Finnish people!
This video, It's almost like listening to Finlandia; two drops of tears everytime. Eläköön Suomi. Slava Ukraini.
I have done my service&training here in southern&coastal part of Finland, and have no bad aftermath about it. And so did my sons. Now, one is volunteering in the crisis area, hoping he will come back alive.
This video brings sadness and pride to my heart. Our great-grandfathers did a great job, even when they lost.
Lost? If they had lost, Finland would've had a very different fate. Yes, we lost some land but the Russkies never got to Helsinki.
@@jounisuninen itsenäisyys pidettiin vaikka kuinka monta kertaa ryssät yritti sen meiltä riistää.
Rise of nation’s pride!
All our three wars in WW2 were worth fighting though the prize was high.
Been binging Winter/Continuation stuff lately. It's truly the most interesting part of the European theater.
i have visited those house holds there were room where was Pendulum clock cliiking and picture of 2 of their son on military uniform they were actually fallen on combat time has slowed that room so much i almost feeled some sort of weight of it to be in that room corner of the room was book self there were small finnish flag on cmabt arms not just original finland flag
Keeping the Russkies out of the nordics since 1917
Since 1200's
This is one reason why so many people in Finland have rather pensive attitude towards such immigrants, specially towards men and especially towards total objectors be they Finns or other nationals, who flee from war instead staying and defending their home like our fathers did, we didn't run, we didn't cry about the impossibility of the war against USSR/Russia or whined about our rights but we fought tooth and nail and threw everything including the kitchen sink at the enemy, it's about the principle and idea, a thing that different people from different countries don't really seem to understand it and what it meant back then and what it means now. Though i'l add that continuation war was a mistake and lots of mistakes were done but at the same time i'm not sure if Finland would have been able to avoid being dragged into war all given the time in history
It was only a mistake in that you lost. Better to fight and lose than beg for mercy.
"i'm not sure if Finland would have been able to avoid being dragged into war " I am sure, it's obvious. Absolutely no.
@@basedpatriarch If we didn't fight, the Russian would've taken whole Finland.
They Just Leave Wifes And Flee..Or more Grand Plan?
Did the good guys win?
Who do you think were the good guys? The USSR won btw.
It depends on how we calculate the win. Stalin decided a new government of Finland ("Terijoki") and new currency but he failed to invade the country, Finland didn't face the same fate as the Baltics did (Finland kept its independence and won most of the battles). Many people thinks it's was a moral victory for the Finns (even though they lost the war)
@@veikkakarvonen831 If Finland lost to Russia (USSR), how was it possible that Stalin's puppet president for Finland - Mr. Kuusinen - was never granted visa by the Finnish Government? He could never return to Finland even after 1944. If Stalin had beaten the Finnish Army, why did he not order the Finnish Government to let Kuusinen enter Finland? Because Russia couldn’t beat the Finnish Army! It was the Soviet Army which was soundly beaten in summer 1944, not the Finnish Army. The war ended very differently from Stalin’s dreams, although he gained some ground.
@@RockerFinland a moral victory for US finns. Yes, it definitely was that. The USSR won more, but was far from winning fully.
Let's put it this way. From all the European participants of the war, only three never had their capitals taken. 1) London 2) Moscow 3) Helsinki
brave men, brave nation. it can clearly be seen that they have no fear in their eyes. huge respect.
Solemnity was reflected from the faces of the soldiers when they realized what was the task before them at the beginning of the continuation war: Now the battle had to be won whatever the cost. Literally everything was at stake.
Trust me. They were afraid. But not paralyzed by the fear. I've talked to many men who fought here. They were all afraid. But behind them was their families, homes and our way of life. Ahead of them a choice to live and die as a finn or submit to soviet occupation.
The Fnglish stoidI (right/left) declared war on the fine Finns eighty years ago !
The Fnglish are traitors !
Amazing video
Love Finnish culture and people God bless
I think these are just scenes YLE made for their program
