Yes as it was the family symbol of Count von Rosen of Sweden, who as a gift gave the new independent neighbor country its first military airplane which had the blue "rolling" swastika on a white bottom as its mark! This was in 1918 and it has nothing to do with Nazis or Nazism! Thank You

Reino Lehväslaiho, the guy who shoots at the advancing Russians from the hatch of the T-34 became a writer afterwards. He wrote many war novels, including Panssarisotaa 1941-44 that tells about his own experiences in war. He voluntarily enlisted to the army when he was 17, has earned 30 medals. He has 7 confirmed tank kills, tens of destroyed trucks and couple of anti-tank cannons (He was the gunner of the tank). He was shot in the mouth, like seen in the film. He survived, and was serving in the Lapland war after that. Now he is 92 years old and his rank is Warrant Officer.
He took his submachinegun and shoot the attacking soviets from the hatch of tank before getting shot to the chin. Movie shows those events attached together, but really there is several days of heavy fighting between tank battle and Lehväslaiho's battle where he gets wounded. I really recommend to read about history of Finland in WW2 especially in summer 1944. Finnish army is the only one which has ever stopped the assault campaign of red army. And we did it twice.
The Battle of Tali-Ihantala (June 25 to July 9, 1944) was part of the Finnish-Soviet Continuation War (1941-1944), which occurred during World War II. Finnish forces achieved a defensive victory. It was Stalin attacked Finland, not the other way around
They had another T-34 in that squad too, but because of too weak bridge it sunk to the bottom of Saimaa's canal a day or two before the attack. The gunner of T-34 is a finnish writer Reino Lehväslaiho. In his book "Sotkalla sodassa (Book about his experiences in finnish tank forces)" he tells that he was so exhausted after the many days of heavy fighting without sleeping, that something snapped in his head when tank ran out of fuel and ammunation
"Thali - Ihantala" is the name of this movie. Id say that this is one of the most realistic war movie that ive seen. The fact that my grandfather participated in these actual battles (Swedish volontairy infantery captain), makes it even more interesting.

People are here saying, how it all looks so unrealistic and tanks look crap etc. Well folks... Everything you see is based on reality and it more or less happened like depicted. Reino Lehväslaiho destroyed many tanks on that day and yes... Russian tanks didnt manage to destroy them. KV-1 was hit like shown, but only thing they did was knock the air of rhe crew, and they kept on fighting. And yes. All the tanks in the movie are real and the exact tanks used on that battle. If you dont trust my word, then search Reino Lehväslaiho and Portinhoikan taistelu (Portinhoikka Battle).

TruDestroyer 03 yeah. I notice this from their party anthem, Horst-Wessel-Lied, where "hakenkreuz"(crooked/hook cross) is mention not swastika. Here: rexcurry.net/swastikanews.html
+SimonSagt LP reds = red army soldiers , and by definition , a pyrrhic victory can count as a defeat for the losses , in the case of the two winter wars , a great part of the experts got the conclussion that the real winners where the finns , because they lose few soldiers and airplanes , (nothing compared to the red loses) , and a little part of territory
MrMsJsabat Thx, I'm aware where "reds" come from. It was a rhetorical question to direct attention to the fact that calling an enemy names such as that, is dehumanizing them. I'm no military historian, so I will not attempt to discuss who "won" the winter war. It's just that things like "we kicked the shit out of them", is IMHO not really appropriate when the enemy has men and material to waste and you don't. It was only by a knife's edge that Finland did not get swallowed up by the USSR, horrible casualties or no. Oh, and how about telling the veteran who lost both legs how he "kicked the shit out of the reds"? I'm not sure he'll be pleased. Sorry, I just hate simplistic, patriotic expressions. Life is always much more complex then that - and usually neither your own, nor your enemy's fallen soldiers actually deserve their fate. I know, it all sounds glorious, but in reality, it's really only tragic...
SimonSagt LP i can understand your point of view , the think here , is that stalin wanted the resources of finland , but he didnt had even a reason to start the war , so he attacked a russian village and then he said that the finns did it , so he could start the war , after that the soviet army started sending "soldiers" (villagers with a rifle) to fight finland army , but they get killed by the finnish snipers and the extreme weather conditions Finally , most of the people glorify this war because it was something like David vs goliath
MrMsJsabat Yes, I agree with everything you say there. I think so too. The war was, as usual, quite pointless and drawn up by power-hungry assholes, using deception and propaganda to fake some casus belli. One also has to have great respect for the Finnish courage and determination. What I think as a problem is when people glorify even defensive wars, then in the future, when perhaps power relations are reversed, then propaganda calling falsely for a new defensive war, will rally far more people than if war in general is disdained by the population. E.g. I'm sure the Russian peasants were still proud of having fought off Napoleon more than a century earlier. When Stalin told them, someone was attacking "again", he could very easily send them against Finland. Maybe a hundred years from now there will be a strong Nordic Federation under a dictator wanting Russian resources? Then calling upon proud Finnish people will be easy. Or whatever, I think you know what I mean ;) I'm German btw. so maybe you see why I'm no friend of patriotism. But in all honesty, I admit that thinking about these David vs Goliath scenarios is really, really satisfying. I have to restrain myself too from glorifying ancient battles fought by warrior and soldier ancestors. I just don't want history to repeat itself, as no matter what, there are always too many victims to mourn by either side.
Rabindranad Tagor The Finnish army was not destroyed, after each the Winter War and the Continuation War Finland possessed still a viable fighting force.
ruben svensson This is not the Winter War, since there is no snow, but the Continuation War, lost by Finland. Also you can see FaustPatron developed by the end of WWII
ruben svensson That doesn't mean they won every battle and local engagement. An army can win a battle, but that doesn't mean that some units on the winning side didn't find themselves cut off and destroyed during the battle. This is just showing a single local engagement between a couple companies of troops and a half-dozen tanks, as far as I can tell. Hardly a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the war.
It was one of the many helmets they used. They had german (most of them bought before 1941 and some were manufactured in Finland by license), swedish, italian, russian and they also had finnish helmets which looked pretty similar with Swedish ones. If you google photos from continuation war you can notice the mix of helmets they had.
The tank T34 the Sotka (means a specific bird!) until it got hit and turned into a T34 Sotku (means a mess!)🤔

@@kimpihl In Winter war the captured tanks were mainly T-26, some BT and T-28. T-34s were not captured in the Winter war. In Continuation war 1,5 years later, first T-34s were captured in 1941. While T-26 were not exactly the best tanks in WW2, armed with 45min AT gun they were acceptable in 1941 against infantry and light tanks. Finns used them to great effect during 1941.
Then about the weapons. They are all finnish weapons exept the russian DP-28 lmg which was captured due to a low amount of own lmg's. the smg is called Suomi KP ( Finland submachinegun) which is an own design. the rifles are also finnish versions of the russian Mosin-nagant. The heavy machineguns are also not russian. They are Finnish Maxim M31/32 which had a higher rate of fire and less weight.
The establishment of the Finnish Air Force Finnish Air Force (first Finnish Civil Aviation Garden, then the Finnish Aviation Force and finally the Finnish Air Force) began when a Swedish Count Eric von Rosen donated in Vaasa 3.6.1918 owned Thulin aircraft typ D (built in Sweden a copy of the French Morane-Saulnier Parasol aircraft), the civil war in the fair value of white government forces. The machine was von Rosen from the school's machine, and in the past had its wings school IDs was replaced by von Rosen's personal fortune symbol, a blue swastika. The blue swastika placed in a white circle was assigned to the emblem in military aircraft in March 1918. At the same time swastika became a symbol of armored vehicles army before the start of the Continuation War.
The Swedish count von Rosen had a swastika as a personal emblem; when he gave the Finnish air force their first aircraft, it bore the symbol as a thanks to him. The Finnish Air Force have used the swastika since 1918 - ie long before the Nazis were even created - and it was used in some Finnish family coats-of-arms centuries earlier.
The Mannerheim Line, which was described by Soviet propaganda nearly impenetrable, had 0,35 armed bunkers per km. The Maginot Line in France had 10 bunkers per km in the Belgian border, which was the weakest part. It wasn't only fearsome Finnish defence which halted the Red Army's attack for 2 months, it was the mistakes Soviet military leadership made before and during the Winter War. And by the way, Russia ranks 11th in the list of countries by suicides per 100,000 while Finland is number 20.
As a Finn it's really amusing to read what people comment on youtube about Swastikas on Finnish tanks, German-type uniforms, russian tanks and so on... And this film is real events and I do not know if these happened exatly the way they happened, but these are pretty much true. And yes this film has some very ridiculous and stupid takes but overall this is a good movie.
I was wondering: in the older tanks (during WWII), when a tank is hit with explosive shells like mortar's or other tanks', even if its armor is not penetrated, could the concussion shockwave (when it is hit in close proximity with where the crews are located) kill the men inside?
(continue) Finnish Jews fought alongside German troops in Finland, somewhere even decorated with Iron Cross! Doesn't really give an impression to get "Jewish-, Slavic- or Romani free territory". We call it Continuation War because it's direct continuation to the Winter War. Without Winter War there wouldn't have been any of the other wars. Besides, the history between Russia and Finland (like Russia and any other neighbouring nation) have always been complicated.. Hope we can learn from history
@@PanzerLehr88 There were 2000 Jews in Finland during WW2. 300 jewish men were part of Finnish army and 23 of them died during the wars. Four were awarded iron cross, none of them accepted it. Last jewish veteran died in 2019.

The conflict began with a Soviet offensive on 30 November 1939-two months after the outbreak of World War II and the Soviet invasion of Poland. The Red Army aimed to recover the Grand Duchy of Finland territory lost during the Russian Civil War in 1917, during which Finland had declared independence from Russia.
Manfred von Ardenne (20 January 1907 - 26 May 1997) was a German research and applied physicist and inventor. He took out approximately 600 patents in fields including electron microscopy, medical technology, nuclear technology, plasma physics, and radio and television technology.
The Soviets decided to invade Finland. But the Finns were armed with rifles and they put up a good defense and kicked the Reds butts. Finland however still fell into the Soviet orbit.
The scenes in panzer war in 1944 in Karelia is from a movie TALI IHANTALA, about how Finland kept Stalins forces of not occupying Finland? Later, Swedish Prime minister said: if we would not have kept our lines, THE IRON CURTAIN would have been on western shore of Norway...
Does Anton Rebrov know anything about the history. Finns didn't attack or were allies with nazis. And why doe russians always do something and say the opposite.
So it wasn't a real concrete defence line, more like a line of field fortifications, forests and a few bunkers. The greatness comes from the training of Finnish troops. Soviet troops weren't equipped or trained well to fight in same conditions. But the Red Army did learn from these experiences. As you said, bunkers were well situated, but those were extremely simple and outdated. Most of these bunkers were Enckell-style from 20's, which didn't withstand a modern shell from 150 mm guns.
Alan: It's called Inger: Father & Son. - olddude51: Thanks for sharing. Yeah I am not a fan of war myself, especially because I am the beneficiary of so many of its nasty side effects perhaps, but I still had to tell my dad's story. It might not talk about all that much military stuff specifically, half the book is also about my modern childhood and compares the two eras - but it does tell about what the NKVD did to the Finns, how they were sent to Gulags, and many things the Finns did to survive even as civilians caught in the middle of two large aggressors. For example my dad (he was just a boy at the time) was put to work building roads and barracks etc for the Germans, during that process he saw carnage that could have fit just fine in films like Platoon - guts coming out etc. Very few know about the story of the Ingrian Finns specifically, it wasn't glamorized like some other stories we've heard over and over again about WWII, but just as brutal.
My Father figt against red army many years but her roots and my roots comes from Russian.. Aminov, Golitsin, Romanov, Dolgorukov,Buturlin,Bibinov, Tolstoi, Obolenski i tak dalee........

Удивляет абсолютное неумение советских солдат попасть в во вражеского солдата высунувшегося полностью из люка танка, даже не дальности броска гранаты, и одновременное нежелание советских солдат хоть как то уклоняться от вражеского огня !! :))))
Alex Iven Ну -ну прямо "одним махом семерых убивахом".В 44-ом финны вообще старались не ввязываться в боевые столкновения,они уже поняли,что это не 39-40г и стало себе дороже,а к тому-же ещё в середине марта правительство Финляндии запросило через Шведов у СССР об условиях на которых Финляндия могла-бы выйти из войны и союза с Германией. Вот такой расклад и реальная история. Полный выход был оформлен официально в начале сентября.
Alex Iven и танки все советские, но от финов снаряд отскакивает, (видимо покрыт веществом из которого мозг режиссёра сделан), а советские с 1 выстрела на дрова
Leningrad Front lost between 9th of June and 18th of July 1944 total 189 000 men killed in action, wounded in action, lost in action and non-combat losses in Karelian Isthmus. 1/3 was lost between 9th and 20th of June. Heaviest loss days were 14th and 28th of June. Finns lost total 44 500 soldiers, but those losses were from 1st of June to 5th of Sept 44.
I fucking hate how some Russians come to this video commenting "In reality finlands got its ass kicked AXXAXAXA" Dude stfu its 2016 we must forget the bloody past and be more friendly to each other! I dont want to see war between Russia & Finland in this life again
They mostly had old british and french tanks and later got a few modern ones from Germeny and they captued russian tanks when ever they had the chance. They did have finish "tanks" but they were more like the tanks of WW1.
Some were delivered as well sure, but also a small amount of non destroyed Panzers were taken from the retreating german forces who were now moving as quickly as possible toward the Norwegian northern border. They didn't fully use these tanks, as most roads and bridges going north were no longer suited for such heavy vehicles but to some extend they did.
TALI-IHANTALA is the worst Finnish war movie I've seen. There are a number of famous actors, but they are not given a chance to rescue the movie. It seems as it had been directed by a little kid. Sorry Åke.
Joseph Stalin actually deeply admired Mannerheim and the Finns, that is why after WW2 he did not punish them for coopering with the Nazis. Stalin let the Finns be independent and did not turn them into a satellite puppet like Poland, East Germany etc.
Автор 🖐 выложи фрагмент фильма, где командир танка, вылез на башню танка КВ 1, после чего в танк прямой наводкой влетает снаряд. У танка взрывается боекомплект, от чего эту самую башню срывает. Пусть забугорные товарищи посмотрят на сей шедевр ✌
Man, how can the Russians be so damn incompetent in this film? Not a single one of those thousands of Soviet Soldiers could hit those guys leaving the tank? Seriously?! That's just crazy... And why were they firing at the tank with their rifles? It's not like it will have any effect... Why didn't they just stick to cover?
winny phh Nah, I wouldn't say something s harsh as that... It's not nice to generalize. I've been to Finland and it was very nice. This is just a case of a dumb nationalist film. Kind of like what Russia did in movies such as "Сталинградская битва". You know what I mean... Portraying the German Soldiers as incompetent schmucks...
I wouldnt call it a full out nationalist film tho... You saw how they portrayed the russian soldier as a decent human for returning the wounded. Its just typical finnish movie making awkwardness.
Well most likely the same reason that they were not able to invade Finland even they had much greater number in vehicles and troops. Their militarys training was lacking when Finnish troops excelled despite the lack of proper equipment, besides for us Finnish it was about intependence and defending our homes. In short Russians trusted in mass instead of quality when Finnish had much less and better trained troops in addition to homefield advantage and guerilla tactics.
What they did not agree upon in the Tehran was how the politics of the countries Soviets "liberated" would be handled afterwards. Yes, maybe Finland would have still retained its independence, but I dare say that the tactical defensive victories Finns achieved in the summer of 1944 spared Finland of being conquered and afterwards of being transformed into a communist nation - not to mention sparing the populace of atrocities like the ones Soviets commited in eastern Germany at the end of the war
Finland tank forces consisted of German tanks and captured soviet tanks. Finland used svastika variations, too, before and during the WWII. In tanks it was black and really appears very "German". So in this case the movie clip is truthful.
The feeling that the film was shot either according to the templates of Indian films or Soviet ones, when 3-5 enemies are hit at once with one shot, and the enemies try, but they can't get there. So much like a fairy tale. Since 1943, the Soviets have been beating the Germans the best army in the world.
Both INF and START I have already expired and I think it served both Russia's and USA's interests to obey those. New START has been signed. Is there something in Helsinki Accords that's still in use? Don't know the point of that Meretskov statement, but what I meant with that Mannerheim "Miekkavala" thingy is that Mannerheim (the military leader of Finland) tried to get government support for expaditions to Russia without success. Do you anything to back up those "Syria accusations"?
Movies always makes tanks seem a lot more spacious inside than they actually were. In reality, many were an incredibly claustrophobic environment where many of the crew barely had room to move (hence the very low probability of escaping internal fires, etc.). As much added protection as they afforded their crews, they would have been horrendous places to experience injury and death in.
@ZeroNitroMan Thanks for information. But can you me explain why there was a blue swastika into the wigs of the finns planes? I wonder that the finns wanted all the shelter due to overcome the russian but they wouldn't want be confused with the nazis.
Vladimir Sergejevits >>> these are not nazi symbols. In interwar period Germans and Fins used swastika as an identification symbol. Heck, there were international Scout order of Swastika. Swastika became tainted after the WW2, it has lots of meanings, though now people assossiate swastika only with nazis.
+Rafi Fernanda im from finland and they speak finnish and soldiers have finnish kp31 guns. finlands says KV-1 ´´kivi´´ thats mean stone and kivi and kv-1 is same thing...
Hmmm, I did had this movie before, but it doesn't comes with subtitle, thus I can't understand what message are movie try to convey, I felt it is more like documentary instead of movie. The flow of the scenes were confused me a bit, but It's ok for me, you definitely can put it in your ww2 movie collection, at least it doesn't look like those heroic movie such as Fury and Red Tail. Furthermore, you can check out the review at IMDb. You can get many different point of view there. Sorry for bad English.
+OskuPelaaOP The Finns were not Nazis. They allied with Germany because they knew Russia was going to launch another invasion against them and their Army which was small to begin with, Had been worn out by the Winter War. They pretty much turned to every power looking for assistance and only Germany would provide them with Weapons.
Walther Wenck I saw that 'TruDestroyrGaming' in another comment chain in this comment section and he said Finland was on "the nazi side" and OskuPelaaOP or whatever it's name is was quoting him. EDIT: Or that's what i think it was doing.
The finns also had imported German Stugs that were put to good use during the summer battles of 1944, also later on they had a few captured german Panzer 3 and 4 that they used in the Lapland War against their former allies.
Yes but those were made not so long after the war so it's no wonder they had a lot of original material to work with. This movie is from 2009 when such equipment is extremely rare.
at 3:00 a Russian soldier appears from bushes carrying a wounded Finnish soldier. He then leaves him gently on the ground, and walks away. I've read about this, and as far as I know, this is a true story. There where humans fighting on both sides some were good men, some were bad.

***** what?
The Finns sure kicked the hell out of the Reds
the fiinns kicked the reds two times and then the nazis
+SimonSagt LP reds = red army soldiers , and by definition , a pyrrhic victory can count as a defeat for the losses , in the case of the two winter wars , a great part of the experts got the conclussion that the real winners where the finns , because they lose few soldiers and airplanes , (nothing compared to the red loses) , and a little part of territory
MrMsJsabat
Thx, I'm aware where "reds" come from. It was a rhetorical question to direct attention to the fact that calling an enemy names such as that, is dehumanizing them.
I'm no military historian, so I will not attempt to discuss who "won" the winter war. It's just that things like "we kicked the shit out of them", is IMHO not really appropriate when the enemy has men and material to waste and you don't. It was only by a knife's edge that Finland did not get swallowed up by the USSR, horrible casualties or no. Oh, and how about telling the veteran who lost both legs how he "kicked the shit out of the reds"? I'm not sure he'll be pleased.
Sorry, I just hate simplistic, patriotic expressions. Life is always much more complex then that - and usually neither your own, nor your enemy's fallen soldiers actually deserve their fate. I know, it all sounds glorious, but in reality, it's really only tragic...
SimonSagt LP i can understand your point of view , the think here , is that stalin wanted the resources of finland , but he didnt had even a reason to start the war , so he attacked a russian village and then he said that the finns did it , so he could start the war , after that the soviet army started sending "soldiers" (villagers with a rifle) to fight finland army , but they get killed by the finnish snipers and the extreme weather conditions
Finally , most of the people glorify this war because it was something like David vs goliath
MrMsJsabat
Yes, I agree with everything you say there. I think so too.
The war was, as usual, quite pointless and drawn up by power-hungry assholes, using deception and propaganda to fake some casus belli.
One also has to have great respect for the Finnish courage and determination.
What I think as a problem is when people glorify even defensive wars, then in the future, when perhaps power relations are reversed, then propaganda calling falsely for a new defensive war, will rally far more people than if war in general is disdained by the population.
E.g. I'm sure the Russian peasants were still proud of having fought off Napoleon more than a century earlier. When Stalin told them, someone was attacking "again", he could very easily send them against Finland.
Maybe a hundred years from now there will be a strong Nordic Federation under a dictator wanting Russian resources? Then calling upon proud Finnish people will be easy. Or whatever, I think you know what I mean ;)
I'm German btw. so maybe you see why I'm no friend of patriotism.
But in all honesty, I admit that thinking about these David vs Goliath scenarios is really, really satisfying. I have to restrain myself too from glorifying ancient battles fought by warrior and soldier ancestors. I just don't want history to repeat itself, as no matter what, there are always too many victims to mourn by either side.
Actually Finns used Suomi-submachine gun before Russians even invented PPSh-41, get your facts straight son.
in real life russa did get hes ass kicked by finnish army
ruben svensson Russia was not reddy for the attack but they destroyed the finnisch army, they didn't even captured Murmanks
Actually germans fought in lapland front and they were not very successful... But finnish army could have captured murmansk
Rabindranad Tagor The Finnish army was not destroyed, after each the Winter War and the Continuation War Finland possessed still a viable fighting force.
ruben svensson This is not the Winter War, since there is no snow, but the Continuation War, lost by Finland. Also you can see FaustPatron developed by the end of WWII
ruben svensson That doesn't mean they won every battle and local engagement. An army can win a battle, but that doesn't mean that some units on the winning side didn't find themselves cut off and destroyed during the battle. This is just showing a single local engagement between a couple companies of troops and a half-dozen tanks, as far as I can tell. Hardly a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the war.
It was one of the many helmets they used.
They had german (most of them bought before 1941 and some were manufactured in Finland by license), swedish, italian, russian and they also had finnish helmets which looked pretty similar with Swedish ones.
If you google photos from continuation war you can notice the mix of helmets they had.

Russia: *Has Tanks*
Finland: Nice Tanks you got there
Russia: Thank You, we have the best tanks
Finland: Is that so........
Finland: would be a shame if someone... CAPTURED THEM
@@failmarine2.0 After Winter war, finns had something like 3-4x tanks that they had before the winter war, and they were better tanks.
@ yes and mainly captured Russian tanks like T34 "the Sotka" until we bought absolutely first class tanks from Germany!.
The tank T34 the Sotka (means a specific bird!) until it got hit and turned into a T34 Sotku (means a mess!)🤔
@@kimpihl In Winter war the captured tanks were mainly T-26, some BT and T-28. T-34s were not captured in the Winter war. In Continuation war 1,5 years later, first T-34s were captured in 1941.
While T-26 were not exactly the best tanks in WW2, armed with 45min AT gun they were acceptable in 1941 against infantry and light tanks. Finns used them to great effect during 1941.
Seeing Reds literally coming out of the wood works 6:53, God thats gotta be THE adrenaline rush, nades, nades and more nades.
Финны конечно ЕЩЕ ТЕ СНАЙПЕРА И ВОИНЫ НО САМ ФИЛЬМ СКАЗКА Болливуд отдыхает
those finnish soldiers stole everything: Tanks and tank helmets!!
Not really, some of the Tanker helmets were from Germany
Then about the weapons. They are all finnish weapons exept the russian DP-28 lmg which was captured due to a low amount of own lmg's. the smg is called Suomi KP ( Finland submachinegun) which is an own design. the rifles are also finnish versions of the russian Mosin-nagant. The heavy machineguns are also not russian. They are Finnish Maxim M31/32 which had a higher rate of fire and less weight.
The establishment of the Finnish Air Force
Finnish Air Force (first Finnish Civil Aviation Garden, then the Finnish Aviation Force and finally the Finnish Air Force) began when a Swedish Count Eric von Rosen donated in Vaasa 3.6.1918 owned Thulin aircraft typ D (built in Sweden a copy of the French Morane-Saulnier Parasol aircraft), the civil war in the fair value of white government forces.
The machine was von Rosen from the school's machine, and in the past had its wings school IDs was replaced by von Rosen's personal fortune symbol, a blue swastika.
The blue swastika placed in a white circle was assigned to the emblem in military aircraft in March 1918. At the same time swastika became a symbol of armored vehicles army before the start of the Continuation War.
The
Thanks.
All T-34 were called Sotka. The later 85mm model was distinguished from the older one by calling it "pitkäputkinen Sotka" ("long-barreled").
people, read a fucking book!
Simon Doge seriously, all these baseless opinions!
Soviet:Friendly fire!!
Finland:Who are you?
Soviet:Whoops!!
The Swedish count von Rosen had a swastika as a personal emblem; when he gave the Finnish air force their first aircraft, it bore the symbol as a thanks to him. The Finnish Air Force have used the swastika since 1918 - ie long before the Nazis were even created - and it was used in some Finnish family coats-of-arms centuries earlier.
The Mannerheim Line, which was described by Soviet propaganda nearly impenetrable, had 0,35 armed bunkers per km. The Maginot Line in France had 10 bunkers per km in the Belgian border, which was the weakest part. It wasn't only fearsome Finnish defence which halted the Red Army's attack for 2 months, it was the mistakes Soviet military leadership made before and during the Winter War.
And by the way, Russia ranks 11th in the list of countries by suicides per 100,000 while Finland is number 20.
"GODDAMNIT"
**COMES OUT OF THE TANK AND KILLS EVERYONE**
"OMAIGAADD!!!"
As a Finn it's really amusing to read what people comment on youtube about Swastikas on Finnish tanks, German-type uniforms, russian tanks and so on...
And this film is real events and I do not know if these happened exatly the way they happened, but these are pretty much true. And yes this film has some very ridiculous and stupid takes but overall this is a good movie.
But aim of Russian soldiers were like stormtroopers aim, so not pretty much accurate.
But how do they react to the swedish helmets that are mixed in with the finnish ones? ;)
Thanks! That's so cool!
I was wondering: in the older tanks (during WWII), when a tank is hit with explosive shells like mortar's or other tanks', even if its armor is not penetrated, could the concussion shockwave (when it is hit in close proximity with where the crews are located) kill the men inside?
(continue) Finnish Jews fought alongside German troops in Finland, somewhere even decorated with Iron Cross! Doesn't really give an impression to get "Jewish-, Slavic- or Romani free territory".
We call it Continuation War because it's direct continuation to the Winter War. Without Winter War there wouldn't have been any of the other wars. Besides, the history between Russia and Finland (like Russia and any other neighbouring nation) have always been complicated.. Hope we can learn from history
BULL SHIT THERE WERE NO JEWS IN FINLAND THE JEW POPULATION IN THE SCANDINAVIAN PENINSULA WAS NON EXISTENT
@@PanzerLehr88 There were 2000 Jews in Finland during WW2. 300 jewish men were part of Finnish army and 23 of them died during the wars. Four were awarded iron cross, none of them accepted it. Last jewish veteran died in 2019.
@@Hallstat72 Two Jewish officers - Medical Major Leo Skurnik and Captain Salomon Klass - as well as one "Lotta" - Dina Poljakoff - were awarded the German Iron Cross. None of them accepted it.

The conflict began with a Soviet offensive on 30 November 1939-two months after the outbreak of World War II and the Soviet invasion of Poland. The Red Army aimed to recover the Grand Duchy of Finland territory lost during the Russian Civil War in 1917, during which Finland had declared independence from Russia.
Manfred von Ardenne (20 January 1907 - 26 May 1997) was a German research and applied physicist and inventor. He took out approximately 600 patents in fields including electron microscopy, medical technology, nuclear technology, plasma physics, and radio and television technology.

The Soviets decided to invade Finland. But the Finns were armed with rifles and they put up a good defense and kicked the Reds butts. Finland however still fell into the Soviet orbit.
James Betker Finland lost 12% of its territory to the Soviet Union.But Finland was never occupied by the Soviet army.
I'll check it out. Thank you.
The scenes in panzer war in 1944 in Karelia is from a movie TALI IHANTALA, about how Finland kept Stalins forces of not occupying Finland? Later, Swedish Prime minister said: if we would not have kept our lines, THE IRON CURTAIN would have been on western shore of Norway...

sotka ( Aythya) it looks like bird :) =T-34
Quite right. A very good analysis. My expression "to kick out" was a bit strong. We lost (only) about 1000 men in Lapland, most of them to mines etc.
De unde ai secventa? Intregul, unde este?
Does Anton Rebrov know anything about the history. Finns didn't attack or were allies with nazis. And why doe russians always do something and say the opposite.
Ох ,и на снимали! Это вам не 39 й,а 44й.
Да это 44-й бои за Выборгом . Последние сражения ...
So it wasn't a real concrete defence line, more like a line of field fortifications, forests and a few bunkers. The greatness comes from the training of Finnish troops. Soviet troops weren't equipped or trained well to fight in same conditions. But the Red Army did learn from these experiences. As you said, bunkers were well situated, but those were extremely simple and outdated. Most of these bunkers were Enckell-style from 20's, which didn't withstand a modern shell from 150 mm guns.
It´s a great movie. Just fantastic to see those tanks in action.

My dad was a Finn who beat impossible odds to survive this shit. Amazing story. Wrote a book about it.
what is the name
?
Alan: It's called Inger: Father & Son. - olddude51: Thanks for sharing. Yeah I am not a fan of war myself, especially because I am the beneficiary of so many of its nasty side effects perhaps, but I still had to tell my dad's story. It might not talk about all that much military stuff specifically, half the book is also about my modern childhood and compares the two eras - but it does tell about what the NKVD did to the Finns, how they were sent to Gulags, and many things the Finns did to survive even as civilians caught in the middle of two large aggressors.
For example my dad (he was just a boy at the time) was put to work building roads and barracks etc for the Germans, during that process he saw carnage that could have fit just fine in films like Platoon - guts coming out etc. Very few know about the story of the Ingrian Finns specifically, it wasn't glamorized like some other stories we've heard over and over again about WWII, but just as brutal.
I agree completely. Scary to think that it could all happen again. The book is on Amazon. Perhaps your wife would enjoy it.

Alex Iven Ну -ну прямо "одним махом семерых убивахом".В 44-ом финны вообще старались не ввязываться в боевые столкновения,они уже поняли,что это не 39-40г и стало себе дороже,а к тому-же ещё в середине марта правительство Финляндии запросило через Шведов у СССР об условиях на которых Финляндия могла-бы выйти из войны и союза с Германией. Вот такой расклад и реальная история. Полный выход был оформлен официально в начале сентября.
Alex Iven и танки все советские, но от финов снаряд отскакивает, (видимо покрыт веществом из которого мозг режиссёра сделан), а советские с 1 выстрела на дрова

Heaviest loss days were 14th and 28th of June. Finns lost total 44 500 soldiers, but those losses were from 1st of June to 5th of Sept 44.
Ah, our brav brothers in Finland :) Salutes from Norway. If another war ever breaks out, We will be there to assist.

The Finnish barely had any tank/industry of their own, so they would capture Soviet tanks and use them.
I fucking hate how some Russians come to this video commenting "In reality finlands got its ass kicked AXXAXAXA" Dude stfu its 2016 we must forget the bloody past and be more friendly to each other! I dont want to see war between Russia & Finland in this life again

Who would win
A captured Soviet tank
or.....
A Soviet tank
in Poland we do admire Finns..
They mostly had old british and french tanks and later got a few modern ones from Germeny and they captued russian tanks when ever they had the chance. They did have finish "tanks" but they were more like the tanks of WW1.
kv1 in the rear move forward *t34 moves up*
There were no T-34's in summer of 1944? T-34 was produced from 1940->
Why all tanks are russians? Because those are all, was soviet captured tanks, in Finnish troops
Finns also had German tanks but they arent shown on the video.
right back at you, dude
Some were delivered as well sure, but also a small amount of non destroyed Panzers were taken from the retreating german forces who were now moving as quickly as possible toward the Norwegian northern border. They didn't fully use these tanks, as most roads and bridges going north were no longer suited for such heavy vehicles but to some extend they did.

i think theyre both good
TALI-IHANTALA is the worst Finnish war movie I've seen. There are a number of famous actors, but they are not given a chance to rescue the movie. It seems as it had been directed by a little kid. Sorry Åke.
Joseph Stalin actually deeply admired Mannerheim and the Finns, that is why after WW2 he did not punish them for coopering with the Nazis. Stalin let the Finns be independent and did not turn them into a satellite puppet like Poland, East Germany etc.
The Finns destroyed the Soviets and then the Germans.

Man, how can the Russians be so damn incompetent in this film? Not a single one of those thousands of Soviet Soldiers could hit those guys leaving the tank? Seriously?! That's just crazy...
And why were they firing at the tank with their rifles? It's not like it will have any effect... Why didn't they just stick to cover?
winny phh Nah, I wouldn't say something s harsh as that... It's not nice to generalize. I've been to Finland and it was very nice.
This is just a case of a dumb nationalist film. Kind of like what Russia did in movies such as "Сталинградская битва". You know what I mean... Portraying the German Soldiers as incompetent schmucks...
I wouldnt call it a full out nationalist film tho... You saw how they portrayed the russian soldier as a decent human for returning the wounded. Its just typical finnish movie making awkwardness.
Devastating Thomsaw Perhaps you're right.
swatbot2611
Its basic movie making badass feel to it. Like how the good guys never get shot unless its for the plot.
Well most likely the same reason that they were not able to invade Finland even they had much greater number in vehicles and troops.
Their militarys training was lacking when Finnish troops excelled despite the lack of proper equipment, besides for us Finnish it was about intependence and defending our homes.
In short Russians trusted in mass instead of quality when Finnish had much less and better trained troops in addition to homefield advantage and guerilla tactics.
Another example of why Finland is a country which has retained its independence for almost 100 years. Free people of the world salute Finland
What they did not agree upon in the Tehran was how the politics of the countries Soviets "liberated" would be handled afterwards. Yes, maybe Finland would have still retained its independence, but I dare say that the tactical defensive victories Finns achieved in the summer of 1944 spared Finland of being conquered and afterwards of being transformed into a communist nation - not to mention sparing the populace of atrocities like the ones Soviets commited in eastern Germany at the end of the war
Finland tank forces consisted of German tanks and captured soviet tanks. Finland used svastika variations, too, before and during the WWII. In tanks it was black and really appears very "German". So in this case the movie clip is truthful.
Theres one Finnish soldier decorated from actually immobilizing a moving enemy tank with a crowbar, and then finishing it off with a satchel charge :D
520 dislikes, I detect commies
HAH ! good one !
The feeling that the film was shot either according to the templates of Indian films or Soviet ones, when 3-5 enemies are hit at once with one shot, and the enemies try, but they can't get there. So much like a fairy tale. Since 1943, the Soviets have been beating the Germans the best army in the world.
Did the finish have their own tanks, or were they equiped only with captured russian tanks?
Both INF and START I have already expired and I think it served both Russia's and USA's interests to obey those. New START has been signed.
Is there something in Helsinki Accords that's still in use?
Don't know the point of that Meretskov statement, but what I meant with that Mannerheim "Miekkavala" thingy is that Mannerheim (the military leader of Finland) tried to get government support for expaditions to Russia without success.
Do you anything to back up those "Syria accusations"?
My grandfather was there... in the same place at the same time. (tank commander) Heard many exciting war stories from him... ;)

Movies always makes tanks seem a lot more spacious inside than they actually were. In reality, many were an incredibly claustrophobic environment where many of the crew barely had room to move (hence the very low probability of escaping internal fires, etc.). As much added protection as they afforded their crews, they would have been horrendous places to experience injury and death in.
@ZeroNitroMan Thanks for information. But can you me explain why there was a blue swastika into the wigs of the finns planes? I wonder that the finns wanted all the shelter due to overcome the russian but they wouldn't want be confused with the nazis.
OMAIGOD! BETTER THAN INDIAN FILMS!!!
"Hollywood style" movie: Hundreds of Soviets killed and just one finlandian soldier wounded -:)
Considering the power disparity between Finland and USSR, it pretty much had to be so or Finland would have been conquered.
Thats pretty much what happened back then tbh
Germany deliverd us some panzer IVs, they were not captured, german troops in Lapland were mostly "Gerbigsjägers" with no tanks
Vladimir Sergejevits >>> these are not nazi symbols. In interwar period Germans and Fins used swastika as an identification symbol. Heck, there were international Scout order of Swastika. Swastika became tainted after the WW2, it has lots of meanings, though now people assossiate swastika only with nazis.

Hmmm, I did had this movie before, but it doesn't comes with subtitle, thus I can't understand what message are movie try to convey, I felt it is more like documentary instead of movie. The flow of the scenes were confused me a bit, but It's ok for me, you definitely can put it in your ww2 movie collection, at least it doesn't look like those heroic movie such as Fury and Red Tail. Furthermore, you can check out the review at IMDb. You can get many different point of view there. Sorry for bad English.

+OskuPelaaOP The Finns were not Nazis. They allied with Germany because they knew Russia was going to launch another invasion against them and their Army which was small to begin with, Had been worn out by the Winter War. They pretty much turned to every power looking for assistance and only Germany would provide them with Weapons.
Walther Wenck I saw that 'TruDestroyrGaming' in another comment chain in this comment section and he said Finland was on "the nazi side" and OskuPelaaOP or whatever it's name is was quoting him. EDIT: Or that's what i think it was doing.
Сладкий сон Финских режиссёров!
The finns also had imported German Stugs that were put to good use during the summer battles of 1944, also later on they had a few captured german Panzer 3 and 4 that they used in the Lapland War against their former allies.
Yes but those were made not so long after the war so it's no wonder they had a lot of original material to work with. This movie is from 2009 when such equipment is extremely rare.
