Yes he hero

70th anniversary of Mannerheim death. One of the greates man in european history. He was a very humble, true patriot who knew when to step down and when to reappear for the sake of his nation. So rare in his days and so unheard of these days. He is one of my favourite figures in all history of humankind. If I could meet some one from the past, it is quite possible that he would be my choice.

[@timoterava7108]

Mannerheim had many great qualities, but he was not humble.

[@bgery0103]

Mannerheim has something 18th century in him. He really reminds me to Admiral Horthy the leader of Hungary. The two persons had a bit simmilar life story too!

Greatest? A fascist dog was great? Let's celebrate Hitler and Mussolini as well

On November 1 2020, Tuomas Gerdt, the last living Knight of the Mannerheim Cross, passed away in Helsinki. He was 98 years old. He was given a military funeral in Lappeenranta, South Karelia, with president Sauli Niinistö, Defence Minister Antti Kaikkonen, and Chief of Defence General Timo Kivinen attending. His passing marks the end of an era in Finnish history, as the number of living WWII veterans shrinks year by year.

Even if they shrink,their sacrifice will not be forgotten regardless on who's side they fought.

He remains popular figure of Finnish history today. If you'd walk down a street and asked every one passing by you "Do you know who was Marshall Mannerheim?" Everyone would answer yes. He's certainly not forgotten.

[@LastSpartan2000]

A great man who served his country by all means

[@LoreCore1309]

As a Russian I respect you Fins and Mannerheim and your brave fightingspirit in the Winter War.

[@anttitheinternetguy3213]

My grandfather, while absolutely anti communist, Said he had never seen no-one as fearless As russian troops who Charged against Finnish machine guns in winter war. That was The only Time he talked of winter- And continuation Wars that he partook in as a front line soldier. You russians are great people, i wish you Will someday Be in charge of your own Destiny without some Power hungry lunatic demanding you to die For him in a pointless war against your neighboring country
