========= Soldier Of 3 Armies LYRICS ==========
Started out as a reserve,
Soon promoted well deserved
And the legend has begun
With a bounty on his head,
The Red Army wants him dead
Soviet enemy number one
Cross of Mannerheim!
Addicted to the war game
Never ending flame
Victory reclaimed
Oh, we remember,
We remember, we remember!
Shout! Lauri Törni’s name,
A soldier of 3 armies knows the game
Deeds that echo from the past
Rise! from beyond your grave,
Son of Finland and a green beret
May you rest in peace at last
Lauri Allan Törni
Crossed the water a new start,
War still beating in his heart
A new legend has been born
Started out as a reserve
Soon promoted well deserved
Changed his name to Larry Thorne
From the Finnish lakes
Into Germany and USA
All the wars he came across
Cross of Mannerheim, an Iron Cross,
A Bronze Star, Purple Heart
One Distinguished Flying Cross
========= Historic Fact ==========
Lauri Törni served in three different armies. He fought the Winter War for his motherland, Finland. He then fought his way through WWII on both the Finnish and German sides, and eventually joined the American Army. He met his demise in Vietnam.

This dude was a Nazi SS officer, he's no one that should be respected

[@Thomas.Wright]

@@lurker1245 First, he was in the Waffen SS, the military branch, which basically served as German special forces. Second, the only reason he joined the Waffen SS was to receive training and continue fighting the people who invaded his country and killed his people. There isn't a shred of evidence whatsoever that Torni subscribed to Nazi ideology. If the Communists hadn't kept invading his country, he never would have felt the need to join the Axis. You just need to get off your self-righteous high horse and recognize that history is a lot more complex than your limited cartoon-based understanding of the world. Also, I have to love how people tend to forget that the Communists were every bit as bad as the Nazis, but no one seems to complain about the USSR's involvement in the war, or any of their actions. Why is that?

[@abaddonthearmless319]

Finnish legends are not really praised as such here. Simo Häyhä for example did not want to be remembered as a hero but rather just a soldier doing his duty. Veterans are deeply respected but not glorified. Very much to the wishes of the actual veterans themselves.

[@IamOutOfNames]

@@user-ce6iy2nw5o You can say that, but then you're wrong. Both Törni and Häyhä and many other Finnish heroes are still remembered with respect for their service by the general public, only major exception being commies and "greens" (watermelons, green on the outside, red on the inside) who still unironically repeat soviet propaganda about the wars.

[@user-ce6iy2nw5o]

@@IamOutOfNames i have not heard of either elsewhere than the internet and a news publication and some book. They are not apart of the general culture, writing of history or public consciousness. And certainly not "heroes". Individual heroes are foreign invention to finnish culture. In a foreign perspective they are inflated in terms of the picture of finnish history because youtube videos are an echobox and the youtubers do no research of their own and just copy eachothers videos. For example there are no or little foreign videos of the finnish civil war wich is a major event in finnish history because nobody has put that in the echo box. In comparson there are probably a few dozen to a hundred of videos about the winter war. And yes nowadays many finns might know who these "heroes" are but that is most likely because of youtube videos or sabaton songs.

Excellent. Love the military history, so many stories forgotten. My grandad served in the british army, Major Norman Perkis Robinson, he was a math boffin, he could work out the distance and trajectory of the canon balls from ignition, the sound it made when travelling through the air, they eventually took him out of the field to train the other dudes to adjust their canons trajectory and gun powder to hit the target. During a disciplinary during the war in the field, the canons started bombing, everyone dove for cover but he sat there stoic and carved in stone, told them they were idiots and to get up because he had already calculated that the canon ball would not hit them, they were far too short. He served in France and India in both WW1 and WW2, he enlisted at 16 at the time. He also told about the christmas day truce, where it was a german that came out of the trenches with his christmas rack pack and sat in the middle of the lines eating his christmas meal and singing christmas songs, eventually more from both sides joined, he used to cry telling the story.

You guys know what? This song could also apply to Yang Kyoungjong. He, too, also served in 3 armies, just like Lauri Allan Torni, the subject of this song. His story is on Wikipedia but, long story short (for those of you too lazy to look him up!), he was 18 yrs. old in Manchuria when he was drafted into the Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army & fought in Nomonhan Incident or Khalkhin Gol & was captured by the Soviet Red Army to be later sent to a Gulag labor camp. With Soviet manpower shortages due to fighting Nazi Germany, he was pressed into service with the same Soviet Red Army only to be captured by the Nazis in the eastern Ukraine during the 3rd Battle of Kharkov in 1943 &, from there, he was again pressed into service with Nazi Germany's "Eastern Battalions" which compromised of former Soviet military prisoners & was sent to occupied France where he fought on the Cotentin peninsula in Normandy near Utah Beach & was later captured by US paratroopers in June 1944. Following release from a Prisoner Of War camp after World War 2 in 1947, he became a US citizen & died in Illinois in 1992.

This is just so awesome song and as a finn I appreciate that they've done few of the many legends in Finnish war history songs. It's a shame that Lauri Törni or Larry Thorn is so underrated war hero yet he was Captain in 3 armies. That's really hard to do and I don't know any other who has done the same (still may be someone but I know no other). This is one of my the long time favourites from Sabaton!
