The Swedes Who Fought On! The Volunteers who Fought the Soviets!

[@SkruffyTalez_TheWarzone]

OMG! I forgot to talk about the Soviets bombing Sweden 😅 The Soviets tried to bomb Luleå, they hit Pajala with 150 firebombs and even bombed Stockholm and Solna!

[@TheGrace020]

That i did not know about! Have to look it up 😱

[@BorderGuardJaegerFinlandia]

That wasn't ment to happen and Sweden had some luck aswell, because of the fact that the western allied forces choose to start cooperate with Soviet Union and these Red Bolshevik murderers. They didn't care about the fact that Soviet Union was as much to blame for the outbreak of WW2 as the Germans. They also decided to attack Poland but two weeks later. They decided that the fact that the Soviets did. The same thing wasn't a problem what so ever. They got together with Soviet Union, that exact same Nation, that was to blame for the outbreak of WW2 just as much as the Nazis where... But the truth aren't important, because th history is written by the winners anyway. The fat that west and it's allies gave 1!2 of Poland to Soviet Union for totally free, the Baltics where there to take if Stalin felt he needed them as slaves... and that poor little country Finland, can Stalin take as a gift and send them Finns to Siberia, Who cares... They must only remember to blame Finland for the fact that they took military equipment and aid from Germany later on can't ever be forgotten and History must remember that for ever... But the fact that Soviet Union had its Molotov /Ribbentrop pact with the exact same Nazis some 2 years before, and during the time they attacked Finland, and started the winter war, must be something we all have to forget... Soviets attacked Finland with all military help ever needed from their pals Nazi Germans... Seems like the.west was angry at Sweden aswell, because they wanted to help Finland when Nazis helped Soviet Union to try to conquer whole of Finland... See, where the hypocracy come from? We know the stupid Soviet giving Finland the blame because of the help from Germany later on....and after the two years that the Soviets took all the aid they could. Then comes Western Allied forces. They signed a Lend and Lease act, with that Soviet Union and Stalin, on the 12:th of March in 1941.... See that date? They signed a pact with Soviet Union, who already had their OWN pact with the Nazis, and it was called a Molotov / Ribbentrop pact... That ende 22:d of June 1941 some 3 months after that the west has signed their pact with Stalin. They say that Hitler attacked Soviet Union without having no reason to do so... OK, so are we really that dumb that we believe that the German Intelligence was ad bad as these Soviets and tahto they didn't know about that Lend and Lease act, the 22:d of June 1941 whem they started Operation Barbarossa? I'm 100,% sure that this was one BIG reason why Hitler decided to attack, because it was only about how and when had these Soviet Bolsheviks and these Western Allied Forces decided to attack Germany?... SOVIETS had all that Lend and Lease act rolling on already and for 3 months in total. Hitler had to make an attack first and that must happen very fast aswell, because he didn't know when they would attack. Stalins Soviet Union, that exact same Soviet Union that is to blame for the outbreak of WW2, as much as the Germans... They split Poland in two.... So west is hypocritical, exactly in the same way as they are today, with Ukraine and Israel, is the ABSOLUTE best example of THEIR HYPOCRACY.. Israel can't ever fight their wars like the western countries would have done it that same thing was to happen to them.... No, they seem to still be Anti Semitic, and it's not so strange really.. National Socialist... Social Democrats They have not been this close in decades, but that Hamas attac is showing their disgusting hatred against our Jewish brothers and sisters, and it not us on the right wing, but it's these fools on that leftwing socialist Bolshevik side that is these hateful fools...

I'm a Finnish-Swede(Finlandssvensk)and my Grandfather fought in Karelia together with his 3 Brothers,1 didn't come back. The Winter War and the following War is still fresh in mind with all of Finland."The Finnish cause is ours"🇫🇮🇸🇪was true then and is true now. Our common History is 900 years old and we fight together always.Sweden sent some 9-10 000 volunteers to the Frontline.

Det här är precis vad vi borde göra i Ukraina nu! Helt enkelt hitta ett sätt. Tack för att du gjorde den här videon!

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Det är delvis vad vi gör, men inte lika öppet. FM meddelade tidigt att de som ville sluta sin tjänst för att söka sig som frivilliga till Ukraina inte kommer anmälas för ev. pliktbrott mot svenska staten. Dessutom så har en hel del hemvärnsinstruktörer mm. anställts för Ukrainska utbildningsinsatser i storbrittanien mm.

[@Caldera01]

What about Estonia?

[@SonsOfLorgar]

​@@Caldera01 Estonia was unfortunately too small and too difficoult to reinforce to be saved as there was no land connection.😢

[@Caldera01]

@@SonsOfLorgar The topic is Winter War. Not Estonians war against the SU. Estonia sent a lot of material and volunteers to Finland on Winter War.

[@Pataassa]

We are thankful for Sweden, but saved? Come on. You don't save a country with 8000 volunteer. Specially when they didn't let other country's use their land to come to help us Finn's. Little respect to our Finnish grandfather's also... And about those Sweden guns what we got for them. We bought most of them. Didn't get like Ukraine does. We bought them...

[@herptek]

​@@Caldera01Estonia had Soviet bases during the winter war and those were used to bomb Finland. They were clearly in distress and asked us through the diplomatic back channels not to bomb them back, which we didn't. Anyway, their government was quite of nuts. Some Estonians wanted to help Finland instead but were not allowed to. Sweden was indeed the biggest helper of Finland in the winter war, but that is not saying much. Practically speaking Finland fought alone. In the continuation war the most foreign volunteers were actually Estonians. The reds had been kicked out from their country by Germany, which now allowed Estonians to volunteer in the Finnish army instead of in the German ranks.

[@petter5721]

My grandfather was a volunteer in Finland up in the north. He did not say much of it.

[@thebronywiking]

My mother's father was a volunteer.

[@matteusvirtanen392]

One of my relatives who fought in the winter war was a swedish speaking Finn who apparently won some medals and so on but he was a prisoner of war until the end of the war. Sadly his experiences broke him and he turned to alcohol and my grandfather never allowed his children to meet him and so a lot of the stories were just lost. I still have some relatives in Sweden but we have completely lost contact with them. Maybe I'll reach out someday.

[@CharlesRyan-f3j]

The bravery and tactics used in the WinterWar were incredible. Thank you, Skruffy. Great video.

[@infernalstormrider]

In winter war Sweden was most important aid to Finland. And today enemy is still same .🇫🇮🇸🇪

Christopher Lee the British Actor, star in James Bond and as Dracula volunteered to defend Finland after the Soviet Invasion. Later on in WW2 he was reported to fight in the LRDG, and SOE. At wars end he was part of a team tracking down Nazi War criminals.

[@mhh7544]

Fun fact: Olof Palmes uncle was killed where I live, in a civil war, he was a volunteer. He fell close to a maple tree he tried to get cover from, the tree still stands here.

[@jaredstaniland9117]

armed neutrality proved to be a very effective defence policy for over 200 years.. Skruffy said it at the start of the video, they managed to avoid being invaded...

[@leifiseland1218]

Dear pathetic little troll, considering this clip doesn't make such a claim in any way what so ever, perhaps you should just stay quiet?..🧐 & Keep in mind, at the start of WWII, the Soviet Union was allied with Nazi-Germany, & the USA maintained extensive trade with Nazi-Germany, as true war profiteers.. Little details that don't fit all that nicely with Ruzzian & US narratives, so they tend to not be mentioned..

I must tell you about a cool thing that Salla military reserve have organised a skiing march thas honoring the fights that the Finnish Border Guards and Swedish volunteers had to go through in the region of Salla/Märkäjärvi. That is a skiing marathon that's starts in Kemijärvi and will end at the church of Salla. This wad the same skiing trip that the Swedish vouluteers had to do when they was to enter the Finnish Winter War. So it's basically honoring these brave Swedish men and Norwegians aswell. This is something that will be organised this winter and in March of 2025 in the middle of the Finnish Laplands winter, and hopefully there will be as cold. As it was got the volunteers, something about - 49 degrees celsius as its coldest. People from America, Sweden, Finland. Norway and Canada have been participating in this activity. You can read about that "momorial skiing adventure" down below : www.visitsalla.fi/tapahtumat/talvisodan-muistohiihto/ Its organised every 5:th year and that is something that have been done since 1980. I want to participate and I was to be part once in the middle of the 1990:s during my military service in Finland, and the Finnish Border Guard Jaegers in Rovaniemi, Immola and Ivalo (The legendary "Rajavartioston Sissit" reconnaissance/hit and run, skiing troops)
