That's why con-artists(confidence artists) are a thing. If you were some random Soviet at the camp and you saw this guy that looked vaguely like the enemy, but didn't seem to give a fuck skiing into your position, you would just assume that he's some messenger that wore a similar uniform and not pay much attention to it.
@@l0ne__ang3l4 I read your comment and knew of the song but couldn't member how it went till I read the lil jingle you strewn together and I read it in the Stanley steamer theme 🤣
The events between when Aimo disappears from his unit to when he wakes in the hospital should be taken with a grain of salt, cause meth. But the distance he travelled, his injuries and his state after being found are all verifiable, and are god-damn impressive in their own right.
Another great Finnish soldier I recommend checking out Lauri Törni. He fought for Finland against the Russians then joined the German SS to continue fighting the Russians. After he left Germany to go to the US changing his name to Larry Thorne where he served in the 5th, 7th, and 10th special forces groups along with the 11th airborne AKA Arctic Angels out of Alaska. The man was so badass that the Sabaton song “Soldier of Three Armies” is about him.
FROM THE FINNISH LAKES INTO GERMANY AND THE USA ALL THE WARS HE CAME ACROSS CROSS OF MANNERHEIM, AN IRON CROSS, A BRONZE STAR AND PURPLE HEART ONE DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS SHOUT! LAURI TOURNIS NAME, A SOLDIER OF 3 ARMIES KNOWS THE GAME HEAR HIS ECHOES OF THE PAST RISE FROM BEYOND YOUR GRAVE, SON OF FINLAND AND A GREEN BERET MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AT LAST LAURI ALLEN TOURNI!
@@mikitz I agree wholeheartedly! As an American who’s a quarter Finnish I am still proud of my heritage and men like Larry Thorn and Simo Hayha make me even prouder to at least be part Finnish!
Glad to see the Electrician getting some attention. I would higly reccomend his videos on Wake Island and Operation Praying Mantis, the US's response to Iran mining international waters during the Iraq-Iran war which resulted in the near-sinking of a US frigate, and the US's "proportional" response.
Imagine being part of that Soviet patrol whose camp he skied into tho. You're sitting there by the fire, trying to warm your insides with some vodka and hot tea, and from out of nowhere, in pops this wild-eyed madman who babbles incomprehensibly at what seems like 3x speed for a moment, and then, upon realizing you are in fact _not_ his compatriots, bolts off again like a rocket on skis before you can get over your initial bemusement and grab your Mosin... _"Ivan... what the blyat just happened?"_
The story behind the Ozzy incident is that people were tossing some things on stage for him to bite because the music video for Crazy Train implied that he bit the head off of a bird. So he panders to the crowd, picks up a bat which he thought was fake, bit the head off of the bat, quickly realized that he just bit off the head of an actual bat, the news goes wild on the story, and Ozzy had to get a rabies shot.
Nah, that's not the story behind Ozzy.... Ozzy literally bit the head off of TWO doves in a meeting with executives of CBS records in 1981. The meeting was about smoothing over relations and he had 3 live doves as a sign of peace. He was extremely drunk and bored and bit a head off one dove and spit it out on the table and then did the same to the second before being thrown out. The bat incident took place a year afterward.
There is a bunch of interesting and cool things that came out of the winter war and the continuation war, people like Aimo Koivunen, Simo Häyhä, Lauri Allan Törni and one of the most interesting non combat related things imo, which is a recording off Hitler speaking in his normal voice and not projecting because he wasn't supposed to be taped because it was a private conversation between him and Field Marshal Carl Gustaf Mannerheim
6:51 he probably would have done that but they were actively being pursued and fired on by the Soviets. It was basically that line from the poem about the Light Brigade at Crimea, “It was not to reason why, it was but to do or die”
The Fat Electrician is really good to watch, highly informative while being witty and entertaining, to top it off he is also quick paced and avoids hammering the same point in a drawn out manner, instead breaking it down to a simple recall such as in here "Because Meth", he knows his viewers are not 6 years old and treats them as such. A great video to watch of his is the "Cheese Bunkers" and he also points out how it's a great example of the butterfly effect.
There are actually quite a few remarkable Finns from those wars, but unfortunately there's not really any English language content on the majority of them. The known ones are Simo Häyhä, Lauri Törni and now Aimo for his funny story. Of course there's Mannerheim himself as well but people know very little about him despite his career and life which is like a fairy tale all on its own. From being thrown out of cadet school to rising to a general of the imperial Russian army and fighting the Japanese in the east, fighting the Germans in the west, being sent on a spy mission traveling on horseback for 9000 km through China while teaching the Dalai Lama to shoot a pistol. Being an honor guard next to the Russian tsar at his coronation, traveling through Russia in full dress uniform during the revolution back to Finland, winning the Finnish civil war for the whites and then refusing to accept dictatorial powers over his country. 20 years AFTER that came WW2 where he successfully led the defense of Finland against the USSR twice over before serving as the president of the country until his health failed him and passing away soon after as the greatest Finn who ever lived. There's also the greatest non-German ace of all time, Ilmari Juutilainen (there may be some vid on him) and the second most successful Finnish pilot Hans Wind. And a lot more of those pilots, Finland produced a massive amount of aces, by far the highest pilot to ace ratio of any nation in the war. Then there are leaders like General Pajari who was awarded the Mannerheim cross twice and under whose command smaller Finnish forces smashed far superior Soviet forces to pieces. General Lagus and his armored division that was thrown into the desperate defensive battles in 1944 to stop the Soviet offensive and performed miracles, among other things achieving a 10:1 kill ratio in the STUGs against Soviet tanks and assault guns. General Nenonen of the artillery who revolutionized the entire fire observer and fire directing system creating something so good it's practically used until this day, which allowed the small Finnish artillery to focus far greater firepower on a single point with more accuracy and speed than any other army in the world was capable of at the time. Never mind the Soviets. And there are operations like building a "fake city" off the coast of Helsinki when the Soviets were planning to level the capital in order to force Finland out of the war, which was so successful only 5% of the bombs dropped during these massive raids struck the city. Or the related operation where Finnish bombers took off during one of these Soviet raids, infiltrated returning Soviet bomber formations and followed them to their home airfields, waited for the Soviets to land and then bombed them on the ground. Countless events and people I wish people would know about.
4:07 yeah at my shop there was a few incidents of this. Theyd just pull up, steal them off like 8 cars and leave. They also sometimes stole the wheels and tires off like 4 cars at a time. My shop is also in a very low crime area, like extremely low crime, so I can only imagine what big city shops have to deal with.
Glad to see this channel getting covered. I just recently started watching the Fat Electrician too. My favorite video so far has been the one on Cassius Clay, The Most Gangster Politician Ever. Would love to see a reaction on that one.
Simo Häyhä, Aimo Koivunen & Lauri Törni are the triumvrate of Finnish WW2 soldiers, but there tons of more insanity that happened during those 2 wars. Viljam Pylkäs is one of those lesser known chads as well. Practically every Finnish person knows the character he's based on, but the most badass thing he did was killing 83 soviets with SMG in a single firefight until his gun overheated and the enemy retreated. Dude was graces to the the head with bullet during that ordeal but he just told his buddy to keep refiling the mags.
Love the Fat Electrician, heard about him from The Mighty Jingles, he was in the service as well. He has so many great stories, fun and amazing everytime. Good to see you enjoying him!
Good story telling and comedy makes retaining information so much easier and more enjoyable. I’ve watched his videos 10 times over because they are that good. I love TFE.
Mr. Terry History and The Fat Electrician are my favorite channels to watch. History. Period. Thanks Mr. Terry for the video reaction. Awesome as usual.😊
I stumbled upon his channel then your channel as a result of his. I proceeded to watch every single one of his videos because of how funny and informative they are
Fat electrician is awesome. Love his videos. You mentioned your buddy's cat getting stolen at his mechanic's shop. I worked for a vending company and we once had every cat cut from all 14 trucks, some trucks had 2. Thousands in repairs. We were one of 4 trucking companies in the area that got hit and two of those got hit twice in two months. Yeah, "it sucks when that happens" is a mild statement.
Finnish army called pervitin "Höökipulveri" literally meaning "Attack Powder". Despite the name, majority thought that the best use of it was to try to escape the enemy rather than use it to as "pick me up" before fighting. For this reason long range patrols and sabotage teams were given the stuff as backup if everything else fails. The situation that Aimo and his squad were in was exactly what they thought it was usefull for.
@Mr.TerryHistory The shirt he is wearing in this vid is the limited edition one from his video about "Cassius Clay: the most Gangster Politician you've never heard of". If there is one person in history that is under-served in the history classroom, it is Cassius Marcellus Clay: Abolitionist (and VERY willing to fight about it).
True about using drugs in war. I know a man who served in war, and never did drugs. He said some did, and they were so paranoid that they died unnecessarily all because of the drugs and their screwed up minds.
Try stories about Leo Major or Mad Jack Churchill. Leo lost an eye in battle, they were about to discharge him but he said he only needed one eye to aim a rifle. Mad Jack came off a landing craft in Sicily with a rifle, bow and arrows and a broadsword
As for Ozzy, he had been biting the head off of “fake prop bats” for a few shoes on that tour, but on one show, a crowd member threw an actual real bat on stage. Ozzy said he didn’t realize it was real and went at it the same as he had been
Fun fact: ALL of the fat electrician's videos are top tier! Very rarely do i rewatch videos let alone a channels entire video catalog but TFE's channel is the exception and the example of top tier! 👌👌👌👌
Count Dankula also has a good video on this story and a bunch of other comedic biographical videos on some of the crazier people through history, might make for some other good material to convert to a classroom setting
If you want to know, meth, I mean pervitin was taken every 8 hours when in combat with no time to sleep or on 2-5 day long forced marches, otherwise it was taken every 12 hours or once a day if they where not in combat or if they where stationed on guard duty away from the combat area.
The Bad Side of Pervodin that most Combat Troops noticed was the "Dump Of Energy" that comes when the Meth starts wearing off. I worked with a Dutchman who had fought with the Dutch Resistance and American troops during WWII, and he avoided taking the Speed they doled out by the fistful, especially to the Resistance and troops operating behind enemy lines. He saw the effects from start to finish, and saw the Downside at close range, and wanted No Part of it.
It's confirmed that Ozzy did actually bite the head off a bat after somebody threw it onstage, but he thought it was probably a rubber bat...it wasn't...
17:08 10 to 20 years later the students will be interviewed and say "Yeah. Mr Terry totall got me into meth. He said it would make me Super Human. Hey, uh...you got any meth??"
I would highly recommend more The Fat Electrician! Top picks would be the Battle of Wake Island, Cassius Clay, the USS Barb, Dan Daly, The Last War Chief, and America's Secret Underground Cheese Bunkers.
Here's a video on what it was like to be on those long range patrols: "JMS WW2 FINNISH LONG RANGE PATROLS AND AMPHETAMINE". Here's one soldier who took part in those patrols and later made a career in the US military as one of the so called Marttinen's Men: "Maailmanmestari, marskin ritari, lieutenant-colonel Olavi Alakulppi". And here's a documentary of the most famous of those soldiers listed among the Marttinen's Men: "Törni - Sotilaan tarina (A Soldier's Story) English Subtitles".
I believe and this is if my memory serves right Ozzy Osbourne bit off mostly stunt creatures but there was one instance were an actual bat flew into the area and he caught it (or they gave him a real bad I'm not sure which one memories little fuzzy) and he did bite the head off of that
Ozzy had a part of his set where he'd bite the head off of a rubber bat prop. One time, a fan threw a real bat onstage, and Ozzy, too high to notice it was not the prop bat, bit its head off. At least, according to interviews with Ozzy and other people who were on stage or in the audience near enough to see it happen, including the guy who threw the bat.
The Pervitin pill container is small and individual pills are even smaller. Aimo had never seen a pill, so of course he does not know what the size of one pill is or how many are there in that tube. Those pills also were quite old, seeing maybe 2-3 years of warm summers and freezing winters, some moisture too. Perhaps it all looked line one big pill, instead of a dozen small pills.
The Ozzy/bat story happened... someone tossed a bat on stage, he thought it was a fake rubber one since it was stunned and not moving... so he snatched it up and bit the head off it. After finding out it was real he wound up having to get rabies shots just in case. It was a one-off happening and he was as disgusted about it as everyone else.
Now I know why my grandfather was so anti drugs... he was a soldier in the finnish winter war. One story I've been told about what happened to him during the war was that he was talking to a person in a sauna. After some time in the sauna to warm himself up, then he saw that the man next to him was dead. .... he also told us that the Russian soldier had been drinking alcohol the day before , so they were drunk or had a hangover when the finns attacked with molotov cocktails and gunshots. Horrible war.... 😞
During a single performance ozzy Osbourne bit the head off of a live bat when it was thrown onto the stage. He thought it was a toy or something and it turned out to be a live bat.
Two more finnish soldiers that you should know, brothers Juutilainen. Ilmari Juutilainen fighter pilot +40 arial victories and "Horror of the Morocco" Aarne Juutilainen, former foreing legion soldier and the captain of Simo Häyhäs unit.
Dunno if anyone answered yet but the Ozzy thing: yes and no. He would bite the head off of bats, but they were always fake, except for one time a fan brought a real one so he did it on stage.
Aimo just straight up went *MEEP MEEP* against the Soviet army, and I'm here for it.
I can hear the Stanley steamer theme song but replace the words with "He's Aimo. Your Finnish War Tweaker!!" 😂😂😂😂
That's why con-artists(confidence artists) are a thing. If you were some random Soviet at the camp and you saw this guy that looked vaguely like the enemy, but didn't seem to give a fuck skiing into your position, you would just assume that he's some messenger that wore a similar uniform and not pay much attention to it.

He's got so many good videos.
I think he'd like the newest on about reckless.
Lauri törni.thats it.
He's got real good vibes too
Egg Nog Riot is his newest and is absolutely hilarious
I like the Paul Bunyan one.
The events between when Aimo disappears from his unit to when he wakes in the hospital should be taken with a grain of salt, cause meth. But the distance he travelled, his injuries and his state after being found are all verifiable, and are god-damn impressive in their own right.
the best way to think about it is I believe that Aimo believes that all this happened. because well...Meth.
Another great Finnish soldier I recommend checking out Lauri Törni. He fought for Finland against the Russians then joined the German SS to continue fighting the Russians. After he left Germany to go to the US changing his name to Larry Thorne where he served in the 5th, 7th, and 10th special forces groups along with the 11th airborne AKA Arctic Angels out of Alaska.

Only SS Commander burried on the Arlington grounds.
@@DonRaynor Sure took a sweet time finding that wreckage. Gladly, they obviously had their god tags still on.
I've never heard of anyone who hated communism more than Lauri and who actually went on proving his convictions.

I started dying of laughter as soon as the drug trip was described in metaphorical detail.

I would higly reccomend his videos on Wake Island and Operation Praying Mantis, the US's response to Iran mining international waters during the Iraq-Iran war which resulted in the near-sinking of a US frigate, and the US's "proportional" response.
Very proportional response.
By "proportional" we mean "went full Chopper from Star Wars."
I liked the Grand Theft Uboat episode.

Perfectly normal quote from the middle of this story
"So Imo gets up off the log he just killed..."
Definitely more Fat Electrician! Love ya Mr. Terry, your students are lucky to have you!

Please do the one about Cassius Clay. It would be awesome to hear your thoughts on the gangster abolitionist.
I loved that one. A guest at my work showed me his channel last night and I binged the hell out of his channel
The one about the stolen German sub is top tier. That and the USS Texas and USS Barb
The video on the USS Barb is just superb. I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard xD
The sub that sunk a train is another amazing video. Though to be honest even his short stuff is still hilarious.
Let’s not forget the Quack bang grenade
@@brandonpereira6504 Ah yes, the OG in-joke for the channel. It's a goodie.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Mr Terry finally getting into some of Fat Electrician videos! Def should cover a lot more of his videos
Glad to see this channel getting covered. I just recently started watching the Fat Electrician too. My favorite video so far has been the one on Cassius Clay, The Most Gangster Politician Ever. Would love to see a reaction on that one.
8:39 because well, meth. I dunno why that’s getting me rolling 😂
so many soldiers came back addicted.
Simo Häyhä, Aimo Koivunen & Lauri Törni are the triumvrate of Finnish WW2 soldiers, but there tons of more insanity that happened during those 2 wars.
Viljam Pylkäs is one of those lesser known chads as well. Practically every Finnish person knows the character he's based on, but the most badass thing he did was killing 83 soviets with SMG in a single firefight until his gun overheated and the enemy retreated. Dude was graces to the the head with bullet during that ordeal but he just told his buddy to keep refiling the mags.
The Fat Electrcian is one of my Favorite youtubers currently! Glad you reacting to his stuff.
You’ll love his videos! You should do more of them! The video about Cassius clay is right up your alley!
I mean Lauri Törni should be also included on these lists of crazy Finnish antics.
Soldier of 3 armies
Shout! Lauri Törni’s name, a soldier of 3 armies knows the game
Hell yeah
Viljami (Antii Rokka) Pylkäs too
and Viljo Suokas,
Love the Fat Electrician, heard about him from The Mighty Jingles, he was in the service as well. He has so many great stories, fun and amazing everytime. Good to see you enjoying him!
PLEASE do more of these! He also talks about the last war chief...
YES!!!!! Doctor, Sir, War Chief, Joe Medicine Crow
Cassius Clay is also a lot of fun.
The Ozzy biting stuff was when he bit the bat he thought it was fake and thrown on stage. He didn't know it was real until it was biting him back
I love this guy. He's my absolute favorite TH-cam channel. His stuff is absolutely amazing
The pine needle tea is a real thing for survival.
A fan threw a dead bat on to the stage, Ozzy picked it up and bit the head off not believing it to be an actual bat.
Good story telling and comedy makes retaining information so much easier and more enjoyable. I’ve watched his videos 10 times over because they are that good. I love TFE.
Gonna be my favorite combination on TH-cam !
Very rare occasion where I have watched the original video before you cover it. I love The Fat Electrician. He’s hilarious
I was just wondering yesterday if you’ve reacted to any of his videos.
He’s hilarious, please do more!
Great reaction. Hope you do more. I highly recommend the Cassius Clay episode, as well as "stealing a u-boat" one. Honestly, all his videos are great.
Mr. Terry History and The Fat Electrician are my favorite channels to watch. History. Period.
Thanks Mr. Terry for the video reaction. Awesome as usual.😊
I stumbled upon his channel then your channel as a result of his. I proceeded to watch every single one of his videos because of how funny and informative they are
6:45 He was skiing for his and his buddies lives. He couldn't afford to stop
His video on Operation Praying Mantis was good, and covered a very little known operation in naval history.
And Iran is seemingly begging for Operation Preying Mantis 2.
You're going to love this Nick.
Imagine the crazy stats humanity would have if we gave this stuff to olympians
Fat electrician is awesome. Love his videos.
You mentioned your buddy's cat getting stolen at his mechanic's shop. I worked for a vending company and we once had every cat cut from all 14 trucks, some trucks had 2. Thousands in repairs. We were one of 4 trucking companies in the area that got hit and two of those got hit twice in two months. Yeah, "it sucks when that happens" is a mild statement.
I love this guy’s stuff. So many great videos. You should check out the one about Reckless the horse.
I think this might be the first video you reacted to where I enjoyed the other video just as much as your reaction.
Yes!!! Been waiting for these reactions 😂😂😂
He has so many videos, and they're all HILARIOUS! This story is one of his more recent videos.
Finnish army called pervitin "Höökipulveri" literally meaning "Attack Powder". Despite the name, majority thought that the best use of it was to try to escape the enemy rather than use it to as "pick me up" before fighting. For this reason long range patrols and sabotage teams were given the stuff as backup if everything else fails. The situation that Aimo and his squad were in was exactly what they thought it was usefull for.
This made me chuckle all the way through...
You should check out more of the fat electrician videos they are hilarious 😂😂😂😂
@Mr.TerryHistory The shirt he is wearing in this vid is the limited edition one from his video about "Cassius Clay: the most Gangster Politician you've never heard of". If there is one person in history that is under-served in the history classroom, it is Cassius Marcellus Clay: Abolitionist (and VERY willing to fight about it).
True about using drugs in war. I know a man who served in war, and never did drugs. He said some did, and they were so paranoid that they died unnecessarily all because of the drugs and their screwed up minds.
Try stories about Leo Major or Mad Jack Churchill. Leo lost an eye in battle, they were about to discharge him but he said he only needed one eye to aim a rifle. Mad Jack came off a landing craft in Sicily with a rifle, bow and arrows and a broadsword
Two of my favorite TH-camrs in the same video!!!!!
Simo and Aimo are truly the unstoppable force and the immovable object.
Love Nick's videos. You have to do more of them.
The ozzy thing with the bat wasn't a bit. There was just a bat flying around the arena at a concert and he got annoyed, caught it and bit the head off
Awesome video, something I recommend is Sam O'nella's video about Michael Malloy! It's a pretty underrated video imo
As for Ozzy, he had been biting the head off of “fake prop bats” for a few shoes on that tour, but on one show, a crowd member threw an actual real bat on stage. Ozzy said he didn’t realize it was real and went at it the same as he had been
That NBA Jam game is sick. We got one in an arcade in my small town in Finland but you got it at home which says that you made it in life!
Onni Palaste won the competition BTW. I do not know if there is a an English version of his story but he wrote a book on it.
Fun fact: ALL of the fat electrician's videos are top tier! Very rarely do i rewatch videos let alone a channels entire video catalog but TFE's channel is the exception and the example of top tier! 👌👌👌👌
TH-cam really didn’t like all the drug references in this video. It was hard to get mine up. I assume his original video was much harder.
Can’t wait to see if you do more of fat electrician
His videos are very factual and he is super funny. He has loads of videos. I've watched every one
Ozzy accidentally hit the head off of a real bat, it was supposed to be a fake bat but it turned out to be real
Count Dankula also has a good video on this story and a bunch of other comedic biographical videos on some of the crazier people through history, might make for some other good material to convert to a classroom setting
Would highly recommend more of this giys stuff! He has so much funny and interesting content!
If you want to know, meth, I mean pervitin was taken every 8 hours when in combat with no time to sleep or on 2-5 day long forced marches, otherwise it was taken every 12 hours or once a day if they where not in combat or if they where stationed on guard duty away from the combat area.

It's confirmed that Ozzy did actually bite the head off a bat after somebody threw it onstage, but he thought it was probably a rubber bat...it wasn't...
My Grandfather was in the Finnish Army during WW2. He wouldn’t share stories with me. I think most Finns were the same
17:08 10 to 20 years later the students will be interviewed and say "Yeah. Mr Terry totall got me into meth. He said it would make me Super Human. Hey, uh...you got any meth??"
Ozzy bit the head off of a bat thinking it was fake, and it bite his tongue in response
I would highly recommend more The Fat Electrician! Top picks would be the Battle of Wake Island, Cassius Clay, the USS Barb, Dan Daly, The Last War Chief, and America's Secret Underground Cheese Bunkers.
Love the Last War Chief episode except for saying the allies reached the Siegfried Line in 1943.
Here's a video on what it was like to be on those long range patrols: "JMS WW2 FINNISH LONG RANGE PATROLS AND AMPHETAMINE". Here's one soldier who took part in those patrols and later made a career in the US military as one of the so called Marttinen's Men: "Maailmanmestari, marskin ritari, lieutenant-colonel Olavi Alakulppi". And here's a documentary of the most famous of those soldiers listed among the Marttinen's Men: "Törni - Sotilaan tarina (A Soldier's Story) English Subtitles".
Every video by TFE is an absolute banger. I would watch a video of the history of baked bread by him.
His video on "mcnasty" and the one on the last warchief are great character pieces but hes got tons of other good ones
I believe and this is if my memory serves right Ozzy Osbourne bit off mostly stunt creatures but there was one instance were an actual bat flew into the area and he caught it (or they gave him a real bad I'm not sure which one memories little fuzzy) and he did bite the head off of that
Ozzy had a part of his set where he'd bite the head off of a rubber bat prop. One time, a fan threw a real bat onstage, and Ozzy, too high to notice it was not the prop bat, bit its head off. At least, according to interviews with Ozzy and other people who were on stage or in the audience near enough to see it happen, including the guy who threw the bat.
The Pervitin pill container is small and individual pills are even smaller. Aimo had never seen a pill, so of course he does not know what the size of one pill is or how many are there in that tube. Those pills also were quite old, seeing maybe 2-3 years of warm summers and freezing winters, some moisture too. Perhaps it all looked line one big pill, instead of a dozen small pills.
The Ozzy/bat story happened... someone tossed a bat on stage, he thought it was a fake rubber one since it was stunned and not moving... so he snatched it up and bit the head off it.
After finding out it was real he wound up having to get rabies shots just in case.
It was a one-off happening and he was as disgusted about it as everyone else.
I love your Saving Silverman reference 😂
Just a quick insight from a prior enlisted, "It's never a war crime the first time" isn't new, I heard it when I was in over 25 years ago now..
His videos are all this good.
I think all his videos are not safe for work but he is a well of knowledge and we'll worth the sub.
I’ve been hoping you and VTH would watch Fat Electrician!!
Great video cannot wait to see more fat electrician
Definitely teach approved. Used some of this stuff in my class last year. Definitely needs to be sanitized a bit though.
Now I know why my grandfather was so anti drugs... he was a soldier in the finnish winter war. One story I've been told about what happened to him during the war was that he was talking to a person in a sauna. After some time in the sauna to warm himself up, then he saw that the man next to him was dead. .... he also told us that the Russian soldier had been drinking alcohol the day before , so they were drunk or had a hangover when the finns attacked with molotov cocktails and gunshots. Horrible war.... 😞
During a single performance ozzy Osbourne bit the head off of a live bat when it was thrown onto the stage. He thought it was a toy or something and it turned out to be a live bat.
Two more finnish soldiers that you should know, brothers Juutilainen. Ilmari Juutilainen fighter pilot +40 arial victories and "Horror of the Morocco" Aarne Juutilainen, former foreing legion soldier and the captain of Simo Häyhäs unit.
I’d recommend his video “The Last War Chief”, the story of Joe Medicine Crow.
Also, “The Most Gangster Marine” about Dan Daly.
Dunno if anyone answered yet but the Ozzy thing: yes and no. He would bite the head off of bats, but they were always fake, except for one time a fan brought a real one so he did it on stage.
Is that Wolverine part where they got the idea for that drug called bliss farcry5? 🤔
Dudes heart was literally too methd up to stop beating
In any other world, Aimo would have come out of that experience with permanent superpowers.
That man was just built different and that is why he survived until 71yr of age, imagine if he had his ammo when he skied into that enemy camp
