Hyvää Itsenäisyyspäivää @GIOBOZZ. And everyone else living in Finland.

[@Resident-cb3yz]

Kiitos. Omien lasten takia toivon että sotaa Venäjää vastaan ei tule taas. Jos tulee niin "Aina on mies ja hevonen lähtenyt". Vanha läppä. En tiedä Bio Gizz sinun tarinaasi, mutta jos sota tulee niin jää tänne dokumentoi se. Joka tapauksessa Suomi ja Ukraina tarvitsee sinunlaisia ihmisiä kertomaan totuus. Muista aina että tämä on sinulle sanottu.

[@tsGarpfin1]

Nobody wants war. What happenes in Ukraine today, happened 1939 in Finland. Free will will win.

[@ilari90]

Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää! This was the greeting I sent to relatives yesterday.

[@WineMonkey13]

The swastika on the plane is not a nazi symbol, it's much older than that and a symbol of good fortune. Finnish air force used it before nazis did. But it was dropped afterwards for obvious reasons.

[@formatique_arschloch]

Yes. Swedish count Eric von Rosen donated the first plane to Finnish air force at 1918. Blue swastika was his lucky symbol and to respect him that insignia was also painted on the plane. It then stayed. Nothing to do with nzis.

Kiitos

[@JayMaverick]

Kiitos tästä. I don't know your roots or background, but it's incredibly respectable to acknowledge the men and women who gave their lives for the freedom of this land.

[@SimoExMachina2]

What the subtitles did not enclose was the explanation of the RPG man who said he hesitated to shoot when the tank had reached 150 meters distance since the rocket flew in an arc (like an arrow from a bow) and he did not want to risk missing, so he waited until the tank was less than 100 meters away, before firing, to ensure a guaranteed hit.

[@blarkfnuskel]

I want to thank you, as a Swede born to two Finnish parents! I hear almost nothing about WW2, even though it drove my mother's mom from parts that are now russia. This was an important video to me!

[@mariaenroth7058]

Us Finns are humble people. When war veterans and lottas are interviewed they always say the same thing: we did what we had to do. I don't know how Independence Day is celebrated in other countries but here it's always been about respect towards the veterans. The graves where the fallen ones are buried are called sankarihaudat - the graves of the heros.

[@Syrjyys]

Seeing that emotion at the end, being same as mine when I originally saw the og vid. As much as they try to divide us again, they won't ever see success. Hyvää Itsenäisyyspäivää

[@tsGarpfin1]

Both of my grandfathers were in war, both them told. I am not the same man, as I was. War is hell. Glory for Finnish veterans.

[@GIOBOZZ]

Thanks for their service

[@emmilii73]

Thank you for this. 🙏❤️ My granpa died in that war, my mother was 4 years old. I can't imagine what they all went through. Anyway, happy christmas!

[@antlamaki1108]

Youngest were 15 - 16 years old. They were even in guarding duty, but mostly as messengers or second class ammunition men in triple-A batteries etc. In the background.

[@Ianassa91]

My grandfather was conscripted the day he turned 16. Was in the Helsinki AA batteries. Lost his hearing in his other ear from a Soviet bomb that fell too close. When I turned 16 he giftet me a book about the wars and told me to read it. It was really sobering moment and made me internally promise myself to take the service seriously.

[@FreisturzX]

"guy who does know little to emotions" it's about honor among us men that makes us feel so strongly

[@Sukkamariini]

Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää Gio Bozz! I want to thank you for this video. Do not feel bad for getting emotional, I can tell you that for that most of finns it is exactly that. Very emotional and important. There is not a one person in Finland that the wars did not thouch. Sometimes you might have extreme opinions on the subject. But I want to assure you, most of finns are and were back then. Exaclty as you said, how fragile is humanity and how they understand it. Even though they are in situation as perversed as war is. They did what they had to. If they had not, you and I would not be here to discuss it. Still they never lost their humanity, I never want to lose it either. Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää ystäväni, tehdään tulevista vuosista parempia! :)

[@Jukrates]

They may not be broud of what they did, but I'm proud of what I have because of them.

[@SimoExMachina2]

Swastika has been a Hindu symbol for centuries and even for the Finnish airforce it was a symbol long before the literal A-hole formed the Nazi party and adopted that as their symbol. So, please, mind the context. Finnish swastika has nothing to do with the Germans and was a symbol of the Swedish nobleman who donated some of his planes to Finlnad.

[@GugureSux]

This. The "Hooked cross" mark dates back millennias, and just like the Maltese Cross, which many people now confuse as the "iron cross", were widely used by countless nations and clans throughout the history, in various context. What many Americans definitely don't know is that even the raised right hand salute was still commonly used to salute the stars & stripes flag during the early 20th century. But that and the Charlie Chaplin mustache kinda went out of fashion after 1939-1945.

[@Aquelll]

@@GugureSux It was a very popular symbol even in the US. Buct after the war it vanished. Wonder why... Myabe it was hjust one genocidal idiot fucking it up for the rest of us.

[@keepernod2888]

You should apply context too, symbols evolve and their meaning change... only nazis defend this symbol nowadays.

[@wdvnge]

@@keepernod2888no you retard. Still used around the world.

[@wdvnge]

Its not just hindus. There has been variations of swastika found from all the corners of the world. For example tursaansydän

[@markushaapalahti7163]

When anyone starts a phrase with “If you're a person of compassion, a person of intense understanding...” while reacting to a video about the legacy of our veterans, you've got my attention. Thank you for doing this and clearly put so much effort also in to it as well as being open about your own thoughts and emotions. I'm a grandson of two finnish veterans and of one finnish Lotta aka front line nurse (Lotta Svärd was -and is- the organization).

[@GIOBOZZ]

Absolutely legendary Would be amazing to speak to you about this topic

[@Ruutukissa]

it is nice that you thought "we are". I think finnish people value that someone outside the country is recognizes our strugle and if you feel like finnish dude then u are very much finnish dude!

Damn, I really appreciate your reaction to this! As previously stated, I'm a Swede but my entire ancestry is in Finland. I'm really happy you chose to move to Finland, you seem like a real brother to our forbears

Both of my granpas (and most of their brothers) faught in the wars, dad's mom and aunt we're both Lotta Svärd. 😅You'll never know how haunting it is to watch your grandpa perform "veteraanin iltahuuto" with veteran choir and staring you right in the eye in the first 1/3....

[@zeitgeistzest797]

❤ Before Winter War, just after Finland declared independence on Dec 6 1917, Finland was divided by a civil war in 1918, & those wounds & differences carried for *decades*, even during these wars... Yet, as the veterans said - people were unified to defend our society & sovereignty. ❤ We still have that spirit, I think. 😊

[@immukohonen7871]

It's intelligence and mentally healthy not to want war. Evolution going forward and maintaining peace is sweet while being prepared for battle as a tribe. This is Sparta! 6.12.

[@MikkoMurmeli]

As one finnish rapper once said, "fear the worst and hope for the best". I do feel sorrow and determination when seeing this video, as a native finn. Tears are not shameful, especially on this topic. I do not like some political sides of other finns one bit, but if it comes to war again, I will fight by their side and save as many as I can, just like most of us would I think. Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää! (myöhässä kommentoin tätä)

[@janihaavisto79]

Also Written Finnish is very different from spoken Finnish. No one speaks written Finnish style. So those of you learning to speak Finnish make sure you learn spoken Finnish.

[@peagames2002]

Veterans did incredible feats in Finland, which I am saddened that Finland now only remembers during its independence day. For many eastern Karelians and many many finns who lived in East beside the border and even in other side, this war was particularly memorable. Half of my family is east karelians, who fled to west karelia when Finland had occupied temporarily some parts of east karelia. Many of those karelians fled the chance they got, left their properties and took whatever cattle and belongings were portable. The men in East Karelia joined, partially by choice and partially because any pair of hands in defending their own right to live peacefully... even forcibly. My grandmother's mother left with her kids and family, when her father and husband went to fight. Her little brother was too young to fight, despite his eagerness to go with father. Uncles were also heading with their brother and nephew. When war was over, their insignias were given to their closest families and funerals later were kept wherever family decided to settle. Those who fought the war, were given a golden star in their gravestone to commemorate their bravery and sacrifice for home it deemed worth fighting for. Of course, wars Finland faced were not just simple hero stories, many finns arguably had no choice. Whether they went to fight or faced long jailtime or even death by their generals for attempting to disengage. It was brutal, especially when going against the most formidable neighbour Finland had faced many times, leaving only dreadful stories told by generations. It wasn't any easier to russians either. For many, inexperienced army training and overall cruel weather conditions during wars especially winter wars wasn't easy on them either. Aside of fighting against finns like backed down rapid animals, they lacked of long term munitions and during winter war even ended up having problems with cannibalism and mental health. The wars were horrifying. I cannot even imagine what veterans faced back then... let alone what terror soldiers felt on their very last breaths.

[@masa3578]

Thank you for this video man, much respect🙏 Both of my grandfathers fought in the war but they never wanted to talk about it. War is truly hell and very traumatic. But now nordic countries are military super power if russia want's to try again. Also i want to say glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦🫡

This hits hard..

[@just42tube]

I am not sure what you meant by saying that you sometimes say we because that is how you feel. I just want to mention that if you feel so, then it's true to you and that's relevant and in most situations enough. We all belong into so many different we. We humans; we who live in Finland: we, who are or identify ourselves as males; we who share some opinions or values; we who see your videos (yes that is how it's written in Finnish too. A loan word from English, which comes from the Latin word vidare); we who see the historical situation now and know about history; we who are or have been in Lapland. Empathy is based on our ability to imagine and experience what others experience. At the neurological level Mirror Neurons has been the explanation for the mechanism for this.

[@TarjaS-games]

Video is the same in Finnish. Because it is easy for Finns to pronounce as written, there was no reason to change it. We borrow a lot of foreign words either as they are or with minimal changes (for example, film is filmi).

[@Littlekoji-df1cf]

Happy independece to Gio and all!

[@sallasundell4351]

My mother's mother and my mother's father and both of their families are from Karelia. Käkisalmi and Uusikirkko. They went through two wars, they were displaced. What they taught us younger ones: Never go to war. Nurture friendship and develop trade. They told so many human things about war that if people knew: No one would fight. Btw: Its Hyvää Itsenäisyyspäivää Suomi ! Remember that in Finland we use Ä & Ö, i.e. "Ääkköset". When you google in finns language. Not only A or O but Ä & Ö allso.

[@TheNismo777]

You have nothing to worry, we finns make sure that east wont try that foolish trick again.

[@Aquelll]

It used to be possible to already enter in military service as 17 years old in Finland, but it not has been possible since the UN resolution stating that under 18 year old soldiers would be considered vhild soldiers. Finland of course adopted that stance when it was unanimously agreed on. You still had to volunteer to enter service bafore 18, but it is not possible anymore as mentioned.

[@tomi_9212]

5:56 that two fingers up might mean something like Jesus and god and pointing towards heaven.

[@LebowskiDudeful]

Haha, we do have our own word for video. Elo means living and kuva is a photo. So elokuva is the living image, a movie. But that word is for full length movies, not for "juutuupi videot"

[@LilA-zl6tf]

Well, it is a video, in Finnish. My father was born 1903, so he had time to participate in those games.... He lived up to 1991 - and never had anything against the Russia people. He could speak Russian, too, because it was mandatory at school during the time Finland was still part of Russia. - It is also important to remember, that these wars took place not so long after the Finnish Civil War.

4:05 small tip, remember to clearly pronounce the U in rauha (peace), otherwise it sounds like raha (money)

[@RemosPendragon]

English video is pronounced vi·dee·ow, in Finnish the word is the same - video - but pronounciation is different : D like vi·d[e][o] --- because we have diphtongs and the last "deo" is considered as a single syllable.
