If anyone is wondering these clips come from the Finnish movie "The Unknown Soldiers" which details the adventures of a machine gun company during the 1941-44 Continuation War between the Soviet Union and Republic of Finland. The first scene has Anttero Rokka, and an unnamed younger soldier, holding the flank of a Finnish defensive line from a potential Russian counterattack. Rokka, a seasons veteran of the 1939 Winter War who hails from Karelia (at the time in eastern Finland and annexed by the Soviet Union after the winter war,) orders the younger man to keep filling up the extra magazines while Rokka is firing at the oncoming Russian company. The gun, a Finnish KP/31, was a staple of the Finnish army. It had a heavy barrel and boasted spectacular accuracy and a high rate of fire. It was a powerful weapon though being chambered in 9mm Lahti (and later 9mm Luger) and only in somewhat small quantities. When Rokka gets shot, the bullet actually just grazed his forehead. As he grabs the young mans leg Rokka says, "Where are you going? We have a job to do." He then gets back into position and opens fire, shouting profanities and something along the lines of "No bastard shoots Antti (a common nickname for people named Anttero) Rokka!" And proceeds to empty his magazine. The next scene is in the morning, this time in the center of the aforementioned Finnish line. As the defenses collapse Latinen (I believe that's his name could be spelled horribly wrong) manning the machine gun stays to provide covering fire, getting shot down when he picks up and tries to return to the rest of the company. I hoped this helped anyone wondering what might be going on or what this movie is. I highly recommend it, it can be rented for cheap on Amazon Prime and is about 3 hours long. If you like war movies it's very nice, and is based off a book by the same name (a wonderful novel that is very true to war) and can be a slog to get through sometimes but is action packed even if you don't speak Finnish (as it comes with English subtitles.) I do not speak Finnish, my translates come from the English subtitles of the film which I last saw a few month's ago, so it may be a little off. I apologize if that is the case! EDIT: Incorrect year
I would like to add some stuff about the book. The book got a lot critisism from people who did not go to war for it's brutality, but the veterans loved it and often bought a copy for their wifes to read (for them to know what was going on if they weren't a Lotta (google the Lotta Svärd) ). The author was a veteran from the 1939 Winter war and some believe that some snippets of the book were things he (the author) experienced. The Seven Brothers ( Seitsemän veljestä ) is an older book that the author borrowed some stuff from as they are strikingly similar. You should look it up, but I don't know if there are any versions in english (books or movies). We had our independance day yesterday and it's kind of an tradition to watch Tuntematon Sotilas on 6.12. We are also studying the whole package of the book and movie at school although the stuff is not that new to us.
right before he starts spraying them down at 1:11 he says "now you'll see how the lord calls his own. Whatever sins they've committed forgive them heavenly father, but hurry up They're gonna be coming real soon" and imo that is one of the most badass things ever said.
And the delivery of the line too, especially with the very very heavy Karelian accent makes it even better. In finnish it doesnt sound like he’s trying to be all tough by saying some hard line, more like just casually yapping for the sake of conversation. Which makes it even colder.
Only Finland - superb, nay, sublime - in the jaws of peril-Finland shows what free men can do. The service rendered by Finland to mankind is magnificent.....
As A Norwegian Infantry Soldier, the only Soldiers I think that can teach me more about Winter Warfare than I allready know is a Finnish soldier. Finaly we are Brothers in Arms too!
When you look at the odds the Finns had stacked against them 700,000 soviet troops, 3,000 air craft and 6,000 tanks, compared to 300,000 troops,32 tanks and 114 air craft, one might argue Finland probably had the best army in 1939, not Germany.
While Corporal Rokka might be a fictional character, his real life counterpart, Corporal Viljam Pylkäs got better stats that night, having being creditted with 83 confirmed kills that landed him congratulatory welcome from his superiors. Pylkäs only wasnt so keen on glory and fancying of the officers, and humbly stated to have merely done what he had to at an time of War.
What Russian troops did in f.ex. in the Bucha Ukraine makes one think what you are capable to do to protect your family, friends and compatriots... You are outnumbered but you still have the spirit to defend what is left.
@@Troobeli69 Aka the average FINN, just doing what has to be done, and making at least some "fun" in a horible situation. Ukraine seems to be doing about as good. "Those are the one who are doing bad."
Had relatives like that. Didn't want to talk about war after coming back. Grandfather only told laconically, that in war it was always cold and hungry. Unless when his brother came to visit with a bottle of spirits.
I like how this movie doesnt do the "infinite ammo" hollywood trick, instead of having 1 badass guy take them all out, they actually show that he has a reloader who makes all that possible!
Im a swedish man with finnish relatives. My grandmother fled from the soviets when they invaded her village. She left Finland and ended up in Sweden where she later met and fell in love with my swedish grandfather. This finnish soldiers make me proud. Edit: My grandmother recently past away. Rest in peace. ❤️
Surprisingly typical story. The finnish evacs didn't have much places to go. Most of them ended up in northern parts of finland and sweden. Sweden was kind enough to not be too picky about the Finnish refugees, which would have been very typical around those times.
That's a great story, thanks for sharing! Something similar happened to my family. We are Norwegians from northern Norway, and in WW2 the Germans went to Norway and did a lot of bad things. My grandfather moved to Sweden to get away from the Germans. He had to move because he did something the Germans wouldn't like, I don't want to tell what it was. In Sweden he met my grandmother and they got married. After the war, they both moved back to Norway. In 1955 they got a baby that now is my mother. And in 1959 my aunt was born. They also got 2 other kids in 1949, but sadly both of them died. One drowned in a river at age 4, the other one died from leukemia at age 18. Me and my family wouldn't exist if my grandfather didn't move to Sweden in WW2.
You mean in the Lapland war? I had no idea Norweigan volunteers fought in that particular part of WW2. Not many volunteers saw battle during Finnsih Winter, Continuation or the Lapland war. So he fought Germans after Finland signed for peace with Soviet. Part of the deal was that German troops had to be out of Finland by certain time but they were dragging their feet, so Finland had to chase them out.
If you understand any finnish, that monologue that Rokka delivers right before he starts spraying is one of the most badass things ever said on tv. I'll try to translate it, but I'm not very good at it. Finnish language works completely differently to germanic ones, but here it goes. "What is taking so long? ....... You pile up full mags, as fast I sew them empty. Put the full ones in the same pile, and the empty ones. So they won't get mixed. Be calm, I am too. We do not have to worry *aims down* they are soon in a hard place, not us. Officer in the front. When the shadow of his head, hits that branch, the reaper comes for him. This I have decided for him. After him, the rest are getting it. You do not know what is waiting for you. Soon you shall see how the lord calls for his own. If these men have sinned, forgive them heavenly father, but hurry up since now they are coming." BRRRRAAAAAAAAAAATT PERKELE BRRAAAAAAT!!
As a Finn I can say the translation was spot on! Even I have some troubles of translating everything due to the accent, which is from the northern parts of a Finland! Good job man!
@@duhni4551 Good warriors who sucked the dick first from the Swedes, then from the Russian Empire. And now they consider themselves heroes thanks to the good Stalin, who ordered to win back only the necessary piece of land in extremely unfavorable conditions for the Soviet troops. And even then, when the Mannerheim line was broken, these brave Finnish warriors raised their paws up
Poland and Finland probably have the strongest armies in Europe right now (England too, of course). If something were to happen (read: imperialists attack from the east) then you can count on them.
@@veldur00 In reality... youre living in some kinda nazi state, most likely somewhere in nazi EU. Poor you. Ya see... there are no imperialists in the east. They just want to defend themselves against nazis... as it was in the past. What is UPAine? Human and organ traffiking. Corruption biggest in the world. Nazism open way which is gloryfing SS and other nazi units. If you want to send someone to war... be prepared to go as first! Sending others is so cute... but infantile and wrong. Open your brain, remove all nazi propaganda and start to read from the basis... create your knowledge on your own.
Whenever I read or see depictions of Finland during WWII, my heart weeps. I am born a Swede, but I am only a Swede because my grandparents left their homeland. They were given a future thanks to the sacrifice of their countrymen, friends and family, and thanks to the openness of Sweden to provide jobs and opportunity. Now three-four generations of people with a similar background have these Finnish heroes to thank for being given the opportunity to live in a time of peace. Every new life born since then adds weight to their accomplishment.
My mother's from Finland and her father fought in this war and Finland against Germany he suffered from PTSD for the last thirty years or so of his life, drunk really drunk all the time being haunted by the ghosts of all the many many men that he killed
When I see finnish depictions I feel proud to see a country reacting effectively. In Lithuania we had a much smaller fotest brother movement. And now Ukraine is taking it's lumps from the putrid
The scene where he guns down an entire company of soviets, this was written as inspired by a real story that was confirmed to have occurred. However, it was drastically reduced to only killing what you see on the screen as the author thought that people would find the actual story to be so unbelievable to be true. The amount of soviet losses in the winter war and the continuation war was just incredibly staggering.
This reminds me of how Audie Murphy, while acting in the movie about himself, has requested that his exploits be toned down, since he didn't expect people to believe that he did it for real
I used to play a squad level wargame called Squad Leader. I always loved to play the winter war scenarios. Yes there was a lot more Russians, numbers was the only advantage they had. Finns as mobility, home front advantage, mostly better leadership, better moral and very important The Finnish Winter. My wife is a Fin and her and her family are hard as stone and stubborn as a mule. Not the kind of people that you want to try and subdue.
To be fair, the first month of the Winter War, the weather was milder than average (about 0 to -10 degrees C) and the snow cover not very deep (10cm). It did not turn very cold until christmas week. It eas the Finnish army that stopped the Soviets cold, not the Finnish winter.
You should give advanced Squad Leader a try. The rules were re-written and issued in a binder for amendments. There is a special Finnish module called Hakke Palle.
We Finns were not such saints everyone use to think. About 1/4 of prisoners of war died in finnish pow camps, also about 1/4 russians civilians from finnish occupied areas died in finnish concentration camps by hunger, diceases etc.
The soviets helped the suomi (as they call themselves) a lot: a purge by Stalin beheaded the red army and severely damaged its efficency. The example of the war in Finland was not lost on the nazis.
@Definitely a George Soros funded bot prisoner camp: a place to contain pows until you can release them Concentration camp: place where you put people you dislike for cheap labor
"Jättäkää konekivääri!" = "Leave the machinegun!" what the commanding officer in that last scene yelled to the gunner. He didn't either hear him or wanted to save the weapon anyway and died for it.
Before the scene Lahtinen the machinegunner tells others of the team "If have retreat, we will not leave the machinegun." Määttä, one of the other members replies "I will take the tripod." Määttä and other member were sent to help the wounded to ahkio, where they normally carry the mg and stuff, so Lahtinen was left there alone.
This scene is so well done! The way the fire rate and audio of the suomi smg increases as Antti starts raging is a really nice touch, really sells the anger in thescene
This scene is based on a real fight that happened in the war. There's a few differences. Viljam Pylkäs, the Finn doing the shooting had multiple people helping him with the magazines, and he didn't kill ~50 Russians like in this movie scene... He killed 83 Russians. In total he emptied 17 magazines, 680 rounds. At some point the gun malfunctioned because the barrel had warped from the heat, but the Russians were already retreating by that point... so they changed the barrel and he kept on firing. He later on commented in a 1955 interview that he was absolutely mortified during the whole thing, fully taking in the horrors of war as he was committing them. The bullet scraping his head also happened, which didn't exactly lighten the psychological aspect of it all.
From the movie Unknown soldier (Tuntematon sotilas). Wasn't a scout patrol by the way but guarding the flank suspecting the Soviets may try to encircle their position
The film is “The unknown soldier” & it is outstanding. Very, VERY well done. Another fine film is the Norwegian “The last Lieutenant” 1993. Tried to find a trailer but could not. Just find the film. There are many fine films coming out of the Baltic states & Netherlands that deal with the wars that Americans have never seen nor are aware of. Very sad. No one cares for history nor it’s lessons.
@@masi796 as an American, the pure fight too take on something that large will always be inspiring. Your freedoms arnt to be Annxed and neither are Ukraines
1:16 In real life that is one of the most beautiful sights on earth. The bluish moon light shining on the snow covered trees... 😚👌🏻 I love my country. (I'm not Finnish Tho...)
What a lot people don't know is that when Finland signed an agreement with the USSR Germany decided to invade Finland. What Germany didn't know was that Britain, through the Enigna was able to warn Finland about Germany's intention and in the war that ensued completely demolished the German invasion force making Finland the only country to defeat both the USSR and Germany
spooky doggo Well Perkele literally translates to devil but it’s used as Goddammit, and Vittu literally translates to cunt but it’s used as fuck, I just did the literal translations.
After this film, everybody will want learn the Finnish language.:) As a Hungarian, I heard that I would learn it easier, because there are quite lot similarities between Finnish grammar and Hungarian grammar.
Duh Ni yeah but they are not so close to related in the same language family. Hungarian and Finnish language isn’t as close to each other than Finnish and Estonian languages :)
@@camilla655 They are actually exactly the same language family, it is quite wast and if you compare them all to Finnish, almost none of them resembles it. Estonian and Finnish similarity is result from the fact that Finnish people's "ancestral" home is in Estonia, it was from there where they went to what we now know Finland, only about 10 000 - 11 000 years ago.
Duh Ni thank you for your correction. And yes I know that they are in the same language family😅I just said that Estonian language sounds a bit more close to Finnish than Hungarian. But I know they’re in the same language family :)
@@camilla655 Oh, it was not correction, i was just making point that Finnish can't really be compared to other languages, except maybe Estonian which both are borderline dialects of each others =D

This is actually from the movie "Tuntematon Sotilas" (Unknown Soldier). Antero Rokka and private Lampinen ends the war for about 50 or 60 Russian soldiers!
I want People outside Finland to know that this isn't winter war. This is a continuation war between Finland and Soviet Union In 1941-1944. Simo Häyhä wasn't In this war
Every time I hear some so called expert talking about how a smaller, less technically advanced country could never defeat a superpower, I point towards Finland vs the Soviet Union.
Финляндия победила СССР? Вы бредите! Цель Зимней войны была не в захвате Финляндии, а в подготовке оборонительного плацдарма в предстоящей войне с европейским фашизмом. СССР этой цели достиг.
@@commiecrusher not exactly! Vietnamese had a large Chinese personnel and Soviet air support! In the end “Merica” as you said killed over a one million Chinese vs 55,000 Americans. Statistics point otherwise!!!
@Dismantaled Henry Neither side really won. The US withdrew yes but it cost Vietnam 1/13th of its population. In much the same way Russia won the winter war and its “great patriotic war,” they accomplished their goal, but it was done at such a cost of human life only a politician, or nationalist could ever call it a victory.
That smg is very accurate at range with full auto up to 150-200m cause its quite heavy and high rate of fire. Real death count on this scene in war i believe was something like 80
The bigger hero is the fella reloading the drum magazines with bare frozen hands handling them small 9mm Parabellum rounds. And them drums ain't fast to load at best of times.
I thought it was7,62 x 25 Tokarev like the "PPSH" since Finnish made their weapons in the same caliber of the Russians so that they could use captured ammo, but I watched again Ian's video on this gun and it is 9 mm Parabellum. And yes, it very realistic the man shooting short controlled bursts, and the assistant loading the drum magazines.
@@Lillvappe happened in the real war and while filming the scene as well.... ..wasn't done in a studio.... The director was real big on method acting.... ..besides, every finnish infantry conscript has to handle munitions bare handed in the national service, so yea, it is possible....
All this can make me think of that the Finish Suomi kp/-31 is easily the best Sub Machinegun of the era. It has a fire rate similar of a PPSH41 but with better reliability, and all around just more robustly made. It's only problem is that it was like the Thompson. It's kinda heavy. So no wonder they eventually started switching to the KP M/44 which is the Finish copy of the Soviet PPS-43. Still to get a chance to shoot a Suomi kp/-31 in real life would be awesome. The first screen just illustrates just how much of a powerhouse it was even for something that fires just a pistol round. The high rate of fire, large magazine capacity, and reliability helped a lot with that. Big props to the Fins. They may had not won the Winter War, but they sure gave the Soviets hell, and I believe kept them from taking more territory than what they actually wanted.
@@TheMcMiodzio Maybe because like Finland, Poland has a history with Russia - not a nice one... They know what it feels like. Of course they symphatize with us. Actually every liberal non-communist country would.
My mother's three bewildered uncles got pulled off from their farms in Ukraine by Stalin and a week later found themselves in Finland. All three were killed within weeks. Not one of us blames Finland, but only the Russians are responsible. Good for you, Finland. Slava Ukraini.
That Finnish SMG seems amazing, and the guy can really shoot it. Short 2-4 round bursts to avoid his gun recoiling too much. And has huge magazines. Also got pissed off and started yelling in wild Finnish which was primal, and doomed the Russian column. Seriously this guy wiped put 25 Russians by himself, thats crazy. ONE could hardly do it with a Heavy MG......
his name was Antero Rokka he is fictional character but is based on real soldier called Viljam Pylkäs. what we see in first scene happened in real life but instead of 25 soviets he shot 85 soviets. they had to make the amount lower because it would have looked so unbelievable even for a movie :D
I perfectly understand the Finns, who were vilely attacked by the Moscow horde. And they were forced to defend their land from a hideous enemy that greatly outnumbered them. Greetings from Ukraine.
@@varavarala313Your Russian propaganda contradicts history and common sense. As it always has. Donbass is a region of Ukraine that was occupied by Russian troops in 2014. Just like Crimea. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. What other questions?
I think someone has already told here that that scene really happened and the next day they counted maybe 70 dead soviets. Shooters name is Antero Rokka in this film and he was a real guy who did a lot in wartime.
Close. Finland lost against Soviet in the Winter war in 1939 but the kill ration was like 10 to 1. And that had Hitler thinking that the Soviets were push over.
Here's the dialogue in English, when Rokka shoots Russian soldiers: Rokka (the older guy, who shoots) to Sihvonen: Come here now. What's taking you so long? *Sihvonen comes closer* Rokka: There in the bag you have full magazines. At the same rate I empty them, you fill them up. Fill them up properly. Don't mix them up. Just stay totally calm. I will as well. We have nothing to worry about. It is them, who will have tough time soon, not us. That officer... When the shadow of his head so happens to get in line with that little tree, that's when the Reaper will come to fetch for him. That is what I have decided his fate shall be. And after him the others will get what's coming for them as well... (to the enemy soldiers) You don't even know what is waiting for you. (to Sihvonen) Soon you will see how the Lord starts calling for his own to come home. In case they have sinned, forgive them, you Heavenly Father, but please hurry... You will start receiving them right about now. *starts shooting* Rokka gets hit by a bullet. Sihvonen is about to escape, when Rokka grabs his ankle... Rokka: Where do you think you are going? Sihvonen: Nowhere. Rokka: Stay put then. The magazines are empty. *turns back to shoot* Ah it's that devil behind the tree. You are not deceiving Antti Rokka! Saatana! AAH! Perkele! AAH!
You need to bear in mind that Finland had just been through a civil war and didn't really have a standing army and very limited equipment. A lot of the equipment they did have came from the Soviets they killed.
@@IV4zx No problem.Altough your sentence does make mostly sense, we did have a slight amount of "heavy" equipment, although it was only a small part of our armed forces.
@@IV4zx Finland actually had petty much standing army, it was just small and poorly funded in 1939. They got more equipment first from UK, Sweden and later from Germany. Civil War was during WW1, over 20 years ago so it was not any recent limiting factor. Those two soldiers just did not have any radio/equipment to call indirect fires
Finland: the only democracy to fight on the Axis' side during WW2. But given how the UK treated the small countries, they can be excused. Small, but tough and courageous: your underdog. The british should have liked that. They were the only one among the baltic and east european countries to get out the war free. An example for other small countries.
We asked help from France and GB, but they just tried to use it as a excuse to land their forces into Norway and later into Sweden. Swedes were the only ones who tried to help us during the Winter War, and later during Continuation War, Germany. Kiitos, Danke, Tack Sweden and Germany
Winterwar was patriotic display of formidable strenght of small country against super power. But the continuation war was shameful display of greed out of trust in Nazis triumph over Soviet that bacjfired.

If anyone is wondering these clips come from the Finnish movie "The Unknown Soldiers" which details the adventures of a machine gun company during the 1941-44 Continuation War between the Soviet Union and Republic of Finland.
The first scene has Anttero Rokka, and an unnamed younger soldier, holding the flank of a Finnish defensive line from a potential Russian counterattack.
Rokka, a seasons veteran of the 1939 Winter War who hails from Karelia (at the time in eastern Finland and annexed by the Soviet Union after the winter war,) orders the younger man to keep filling up the extra magazines while Rokka is firing at the oncoming Russian company.
The gun, a Finnish KP/31, was a staple of the Finnish army. It had a heavy barrel and boasted spectacular accuracy and a high rate of fire. It was a powerful weapon though being chambered in 9mm Lahti (and later 9mm Luger) and only in somewhat small quantities.
When Rokka gets shot, the bullet actually just grazed his forehead. As he grabs the young mans leg Rokka says, "Where are you going? We have a job to do." He then gets back into position and opens fire, shouting profanities and something along the lines of "No bastard shoots Antti (a common nickname for people named Anttero) Rokka!" And proceeds to empty his magazine.
The next scene is in the morning, this time in the center of the aforementioned Finnish line. As the defenses collapse Latinen (I believe that's his name could be spelled horribly wrong) manning the machine gun stays to provide covering fire, getting shot down when he picks up and tries to return to the rest of the company.
I hoped this helped anyone wondering what might be going on or what this movie is. I highly recommend it, it can be rented for cheap on Amazon Prime and is about 3 hours long. If you like war movies it's very nice, and is based off a book by the same name (a wonderful novel that is very true to war) and can be a slog to get through sometimes but is action packed even if you don't speak Finnish (as it comes with English subtitles.)

When you look at the odds the Finns had stacked against them 700,000 soviet troops, 3,000 air craft and 6,000 tanks, compared to 300,000 troops,32 tanks and 114 air craft, one might argue Finland probably had the best army in 1939, not Germany.
Thank you. Terrain and general winter were also big factors.
I think its more like Soviets had the worst army...
Notice also that Soviets sent to Finland mostly the troops from the southern areas, not accustomed to such temperatures.

Utter respect for the Finns. Such a nation.
While Corporal Rokka might be a fictional character, his real life counterpart, Corporal Viljam Pylkäs got better stats that night, having being creditted with 83 confirmed kills that landed him congratulatory welcome from his superiors. Pylkäs only wasnt so keen on glory and fancying of the officers, and humbly stated to have merely done what he had to at an time of War.
Pylkäs told later that he was also horrified by the killing. Still did what he had to do.

I like how this movie doesnt do the "infinite ammo" hollywood trick, instead of having 1 badass guy take them all out, they actually show that he has a reloader who makes all that possible!
Im a swedish man with finnish relatives. My grandmother fled from the soviets when they invaded her village. She left Finland and ended up in Sweden where she later met and fell in love with my swedish grandfather. This finnish soldiers make me proud.
Edit: My grandmother recently past away. Rest in peace. ❤️
Surprisingly typical story. The finnish evacs didn't have much places to go. Most of them ended up in northern parts of finland and sweden. Sweden was kind enough to not be too picky about the Finnish refugees, which would have been very typical around those times.
My grandmother fleed from Karelia to Sweden too but she came back to Finland
That's a great story, thanks for sharing! Something similar happened to my family. We are Norwegians from northern Norway, and in WW2 the Germans went to Norway and did a lot of bad things. My grandfather moved to Sweden to get away from the Germans. He had to move because he did something the Germans wouldn't like, I don't want to tell what it was. In Sweden he met my grandmother and they got married. After the war, they both moved back to Norway. In 1955 they got a baby that now is my mother. And in 1959 my aunt was born. They also got 2 other kids in 1949, but sadly both of them died. One drowned in a river at age 4, the other one died from leukemia at age 18.
Me and my family wouldn't exist if my grandfather didn't move to Sweden in WW2.
I'm Batman
My grandfather fought as a Norwegian volunteer in this war. He was decorated for his fighting in the battle of Lappi.
Skibatallion Norge❤
You mean in the Lapland war? I had no idea Norweigan volunteers fought in that particular part of WW2. Not many volunteers saw battle during Finnsih Winter, Continuation or the Lapland war. So he fought Germans after Finland signed for peace with Soviet. Part of the deal was that German troops had to be out of Finland by certain time but they were dragging their feet, so Finland had to chase them out.
@@PeaknikMicki No he fought from 39 to 40 against Russia. On the clasp off his medale is sais Lappi, so i guess there is where he saw action.

If you understand any finnish, that monologue that Rokka delivers right before he starts spraying is one of the most badass things ever said on tv. I'll try to translate it, but I'm not very good at it. Finnish language works completely differently to germanic ones, but here it goes. "What is taking so long? ....... You pile up full mags, as fast I sew them empty. Put the full ones in the same pile, and the empty ones. So they won't get mixed. Be calm, I am too. We do not have to worry *aims down* they are soon in a hard place, not us. Officer in the front. When the shadow of his head, hits that branch, the reaper comes for him. This I have decided for him. After him, the rest are getting it. You do not know what is waiting for you. Soon you shall see how the lord calls for his own.

Whenever I read or see depictions of Finland during WWII, my heart weeps. I am born a Swede, but I am only a Swede because my grandparents left their homeland. They were given a future thanks to the sacrifice of their countrymen, friends and family, and thanks to the openness of Sweden to provide jobs and opportunity. Now three-four generations of people with a similar background have these Finnish heroes to thank for being given the opportunity to live in a time of peace. Every new life born since then adds weight to their accomplishment.

It's true.
The scene where he guns down an entire company of soviets, this was written as inspired by a real story that was confirmed to have occurred. However, it was drastically reduced to only killing what you see on the screen as the author thought that people would find the actual story to be so unbelievable to be true. The amount of soviet losses in the winter war and the continuation war was just incredibly staggering.

To be fair, the first month of the Winter War, the weather was milder than average (about 0 to -10 degrees C) and the snow cover not very deep (10cm). It did not turn very cold until christmas week. It eas the Finnish army that stopped the Soviets cold, not the Finnish winter.

I love how the Finnish fought so well against the Russians even though they were outnumbered 1:30. They also fought very humanely.
We Finns were not such saints everyone use to think. About 1/4 of prisoners of war died in finnish pow camps, also about 1/4 russians civilians from finnish occupied areas died in finnish concentration camps by hunger, diceases etc.
The soviets helped the suomi (as they call themselves) a lot: a purge by Stalin beheaded the red army and severely damaged its efficency. The example of the war in Finland was not lost on the nazis.

"Jättäkää konekivääri!" = "Leave the machinegun!" what the commanding officer in that last scene yelled to the gunner. He didn't either hear him or wanted to save the weapon anyway and died for it.
Before the scene Lahtinen the machinegunner tells others of the team "If have retreat, we will not leave the machinegun." Määttä, one of the other members replies "I will take the tripod." Määttä and other member were sent to help the wounded to ahkio, where they normally carry the mg and stuff, so Lahtinen was left there alone.

This scene is so well done! The way the fire rate and audio of the suomi smg increases as Antti starts raging is a really nice touch, really sells the anger in thescene
This scene is based on a real fight that happened in the war. There's a few differences. Viljam Pylkäs, the Finn doing the shooting had multiple people helping him with the magazines, and he didn't kill ~50 Russians like in this movie scene... He killed 83 Russians.
In total he emptied 17 magazines, 680 rounds. At some point the gun malfunctioned because the barrel had warped from the heat, but the Russians were already retreating by that point... so they changed the barrel and he kept on firing. He later on commented in a 1955 interview that he was absolutely mortified during the whole thing, fully taking in the horrors of war as he was committing them. The bullet scraping his head also happened, which didn't exactly lighten the psychological aspect of it all.
From the movie Unknown soldier (Tuntematon sotilas).
Wasn't a scout patrol by the way but guarding the flank suspecting the Soviets may try to encircle their position
The film is “The unknown soldier” & it is outstanding. Very, VERY well done. Another fine film is the Norwegian “The last Lieutenant” 1993. Tried to find a trailer but could not. Just find the film. There are many fine films coming out of the Baltic states & Netherlands that deal with the wars that Americans have never seen nor are aware of. Very sad. No one cares for history nor it’s lessons.

Finnish made their weapons in the same caliber of the Russians so that they could use captured ammo, but I watched again Ian's video on this gun and it is 9 mm Parabellum.

All this can make me think of that the Finish Suomi kp/-31 is easily the best Sub Machinegun of the era. It has a fire rate similar of a PPSH41 but with better reliability, and all around just more robustly made. It's only problem is that it was like the Thompson. It's kinda heavy. So no wonder they eventually started switching to the KP M/44 which is the Finish copy of the Soviet PPS-43. Still to get a chance to shoot a Suomi kp/-31 in real life would be awesome. The first screen just illustrates just how much of a powerhouse it was even for something that fires just a pistol round. The high rate of fire, large magazine capacity, and reliability helped a lot with that. Big props to the Fins. They may had not won the Winter War, but they sure gave the Soviets hell, and I believe kept them from taking more territory than what they actually wanted.

From people that have shot it it's very stable and accurate but heavy, what is probably what makes it so stable.

Rokka: There in the bag you have full magazines. At the same rate I empty them, you fill them up. Fill them up properly. Don't mix them up. Just stay totally calm. I will as well. We have nothing to worry about. It is them, who will have tough time soon, not us. That officer... When the shadow of his head so happens to get in line with that little tree, that's when the Reaper will come to fetch for him. That is what I have decided his fate shall be. And after him the others will get what's coming for them as well... (to the enemy soldiers) You don't even know what is waiting for you. (to Sihvonen) Soon you will see how the Lord starts calling for his own to come home. In case they have sinned, forgive them, you Heavenly Father, but please hurry... You will start receiving them right about now. *starts shooting*
Rokka gets hit by a bullet. Sihvonen is about to escape, when Rokka grabs his ankle...
Rokka: Where do you think you are going?
Sihvonen: Nowhere.
Rokka: Stay put then. The magazines are empty. *turns back to shoot* Ah it's that devil behind the tree. You are not deceiving Antti Rokka! Saatana! AAH! Perkele! AAH!

Movie About Simo Hayha...
When the snow start speaking Finnish
My father fought this war as did my uncles and grandfather.All survived,they were hard, brutal,quiet men.Serious men when they spoke,you listened.They killed many Russkies but didnt talk about that.
This scene is based on real events. Only that number of removed from food chain enemies was scaled back in movie to make it more publically correct.
Not to "offend" dictators and their worshippers.
Viljam Pylkös had nerves of steel.

Молодцы защищают свою землю
Поучите историю лучше. Как и когда Финляндия получила независимость, как в начале 20х захватила территорию советской России, как строили аэродром для немецкой авиации в конце 30х и т.п. Они сами подтолкнули СССР к нападению, а потом жертву ещё изображали.
@@arkenssskk Даже в войне которая началась 23 июня 1941 года с бомбардировок советской авиацией финской столицы Хельсинки виноваты советы напавшие на финов.
@@ВладимирКулибин-э2ъ we never build airfield for germans in early 30s Soviet union was allies in 1939 with germany when they made molotov-rippendrop pact where soviets and germans agreed that soviets will get eastern europe including finland and germany gets western that's why soviets invaded but when hitler saw how finns humiliaterd mighty red army it made him more sure that he will invade soviet union and wanted to make finland good allie cuz we had good reason to go war with soviets to take our old lands back what soviets stole from us. so if soviets would have not invaded finland in 1939 finns would have not sided with germans and attack soviet union in 1941. instead they would have fought against germans cuz they propably would have tried to conquer finland and invade from finland with that way.
@@kessu1863 спасибо, посмеялся от души👍👍👍👍😂😂😂😂
@@ВладимирКулибин-э2ъ yep. you are defently Russian...
No one:
Soviets: why the snow is speaking Finnish?
Russians given a good lesson on staying where they should have…
If you use footage, at least give credit! These clips were from Tuntematon sotilas (2017) based on the 1954 novel by veteran Väinö Linna.
The russians were FINNISHED. No pun intended.

Does anyone know what happened to the movie Dead Banks? directed by David McElroy, about soldier Simo Häyhä. I started watching the film once, but nowadays I can't find absolutely anything other than images and synopsis. As if someone was trying to hide the film, it's from 2018
