[@patriot52realfinn22]

Kersantti Paavo Suoranta sai myös ristin toimessaan päämajan kaukopartion johtajana. Kun marski oli kysynyt hänen ansioistaan niin Paavo vastasi : " Kannoin reppua ".

Infinitely brave, resourceful, and quick-witted, he excelled in battle, rising to sergeant. 2:51 Second Lieutenant Kullervo Sippola did not have previous decorations in his uniform, because he was in a great hurry from the front line directly to Mikkeli.

Well done! Still I need to nitpick a little: Distribution > Decoration presentation Pioneer Team > Pioneer Platoon Warrant Officer > Warrant Officer Class 2 or Sergeant First Class Deputy Team Leader > Assistant Platoon Leader/Commander or Platoon Sergeant Team Leader > Platoon Leader/Commander Captain Jorma Karhunen, Fighter Squadron Commander > Fighter Flight Commander Finnish Army HQ > Finnish Supreme Command HQ (there was no separate Army HQ)

0:29, Mannerheim inspecting and talking with his troops.

Mannerheim presenting the highest Finnish military award the Mannerheim Cross.

@@jounisuninen o, is that what he’s doing? Thanks for letting me know that!

[@McIntyreBible]

Right now, I'm greatly interested in the military career of Mannerheim.

[@timoterava7108]

@@jounisuninen Actually the Mannerheim Cross is not the highest Finnish military award in general, although for an ordinary soldier it certainly was. It's anyway regarded as the most prestigious one. This award is exceptional, because it could have been awarded to any soldier regardless of his rank - unlike the other awards. It was also accompanied with a substantial amount of money.

1:21, Is Mannerheim speaking with a British officer? because it looks like a British uniform

[@McIntyreBible]

@Cavalry Scout Thanks for telling me that, brother; I appreciate it. I wasn’t exactly sure if it was or not!

[@jannesalo6348]

It's Finnish air force uniform.

1:41, that's one thing Hitler & Stalin never did to their troops: inspecting/checking out their medals!!

He was interested about the 2nd liutenants medals that he got in the winter war
