First and foremost, Anders Lassen was of the few Danes in battle as special forces in ww2. He was one of the most bad ass, dope popping, knife stapping, bow shooting, ship jacking, firetruck attacking a Greece city, anti natzi killer out there! He brought back the spirit of a viking raider. RIP Andy.
