Hello Heaton, its me your old buddy Red Dog from the zoo. Great video. It would be foolish to dismiss this as mere superstition as there is much in this world we dont know the truth of. It makes no sense for any military unit not to claim responsibility for any success they have achieved. Military men as you know always seek recognition, glory and advancement. If this had been done by any armed force somebody would have raised their hand to receive the well deserved accolades. The fact that no one has after all this time is very chilling.

During world war 1, there was a truce between the Russian and the British troops during the Winter to fend oy a super pack (a group of wolves 300 each and it starts because of famine). Not only is it a large group but they become way more feral than normal. The story is terrifying.

[@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL]

[@keithdurose7057]

I think that this fighting between the Russians and British troops took place between WW1 and WW2. It also involved French and surprisingly German troops allied with the British. They fought with White Russians, Menscbovicks against the Red Russians, Bolschovicks. It was ill fated and the Red Army won. At the end of WW2, general Patton suggested doing the same thing. Not surprisingly this did nothing for Soviet and Western powers relations!

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

There were still very large wolves in the Germanies until the 1600's... what we would call dire wolves. Per the records, the wolves were often almost as tall as a man at the shoulder. And this is why wolf killing was a special elite guild, and why so many military units use either the wolf or the wolf hunting weapons as their symbols. I would assume that there are still ones living up there.

[@lupusdeum3894]

Lauri Alan Toerni AKA Larry Laine AKA Larry Alan Thorne was one hell of a soldier. He fought for Finland in the Jaeger Battalion 4 during the Winter War & the Continuation War earning a Mannerheim Cross, 2nd Class. He commanded a Finnish Waffen SS company that inflicted major casualties on Soviet forces behind their lines on the Eastern Front during World War II. The Soviets placed a large bounty on his head. He served in the US Army Special Forces teaching guerilla warfare, winter warfare, escape & evasion and sabotage. He was a Captain & second in command in the Zagros Mountains in Iran on a SAR mission. He earned two Purple Hearts & Bronze Medal in Vietnam in the USA Special Forces. His helo was shot down & he died there in 1965 during Op Shining Brass. His body was found by fellow Finns & Americans, part of JTF - Full Acounting in 1999. His remains were ID'd & interred at Arlington in 2003. And there is much much more to this incredible man's life than these events. He was a true Finnish & American warrior. Sisu!

[@davidm3118]

At the beginning of the videos, speak of the Finns wanting to "impress" the Germans with their defence against the Soviets. But at the time of the Winter War, Nazi Germany was the Soviets loyal ally, and did everything it could to block aid to Finland (the British and French tried to help the small nation). After Germany fell out with Stali, Finland still didn't ally with the Nazis, and fought its own "continuation war" with the main objective of re-taking their lost 1940 territory. They actually taunted their German allies by establishing two "field Synagogues" outside of Leningrad within sight of German lines for the small minority of Jewish Finns at the front. Two Finnish nurses awarded the Iron Cross for saving badly injured German soldiers refused the award because they were Jewish! Having said all of that, I keep an open mind about Sami werewolves!

The Finns knew that the Germans were the only nation capable or perhaps willing to assist them should Germany turn in the USSR. The Finns actually believed that Stalin would in fact attack Germany, hence they were looking to the future. Thanks for watching.

A harsh cold, starvation, tiredness, sneaking finns out in the dark taking them one by one, some artillery fire and then a major attack with light machineguns and handgrenades maybe their airforce FAF was sent on them too, one very fast and well cordinated knock out by the finns. And then a grusume story on top and the Sovjet commanders could forget getting their men in going that way.

In 1939 Soviets Invaded Finland as a part of Gaining Strategic locations against a possible German-Finnish alliance invading USSR despite the fact for a brief time Germans and Soviets were kind of allies . In 1941 , Finland Joined the Germans in Offensive not just to retrieve all lost territories , but also to sort of "Liberate" Karelina from Soviet occupation as well as many Finnish units took part in the Battle of Leningrad. It was only after 1943 and then in mid 1944 that Finnis were pushed back deeper into their own territories by Soviets and remembering what happened in the Winter war and despite being on a superior advantage compared to back then, The Soviets decided to sign Moscow Armistice with the Finns in September 1944 out of which two things came out 1)Finland must help the allies and Soviets drive out Germans from Finland and Norway ,which eventually led to Lapland Wars and eventually Liberation of Norway in 1945. 2) Finland until 2022 , remained as a Neutral Buffer zone between the West and the USSR/Now Russia.

8:52 : Nice animation of a werewolf 😁 Disembowelled? The only animal that slaughters groups of individuals is human. Humans not only kill each others but they also organize their crimes at the finest level (termination camps etc.). Wild predators don't behave this way.

Conscripted Russians + Hypothermia (and maybe hunger) + Vodka + Finnish Commandos on skis in the perimeter + Centralized Command Structure = FRATERICIDE

Very interesting story - but I would have liked a bit more informations or at least some thoughts and speculations about various plausible vs. less plausible narratives. Maybe, you should cover the mysterious Dyatlov-Pass tragedy which claimed the lives of nine young Soviet students who were on a ski-hiking expedition in the 1950s in the Ural Mountains. They were all killed in a very mysterious and violent way after they had left at night and in a hurry the security of their tent for unknown reasons without being sufficently dressed. While some of the victims died from exposure, others have been crushed by an unidentified powerful force. And some victims were radioactively contaminated. All students showed tell-tale signs of premortal physical violence. The case has been obfuscated to a certain extent by the Soviet investigators, but we don’t know why. The explanation attempts include supernatural perpetrators like yetis and werewolves, and aliens have been suggested as well. Modern investigators who try to debunk paranormal forces and aliens, have tried to explain this mysterious tragedy with natural forces like avalanches, snow slabs and brain-addling infrasounds. Agressive wolverines have been blamed, too. However, the autopsy results are compatible with excessive and deliberate human violence. But if the students have been attacked and killed by humans, it’s difficult to name plausible suspects and their motives. It has been pointed out that the incident happened during the Cold War, and that the students might've unwittingly observed weapon and rocket tests which were top secret. This might've indeed been the case. The locals had observed many mysterious lights and orbs in the sky for a long time, and the best explanations for these UAPs are top secret rocket tests. But no one had attempted to kill off the local residents, and if the students needed to be silenced, why was the whole thing so messy and protracted? If the Soviet state dispatched professional killers they totally botched the job and they didn't clean up the crime scene. Others have pointed out that the group had entered the territory of an ethnic minority - the Mansi - and the students might've unwittingly violated religious customs. This is plausible insofar as Mansi hunters were definitely present when the tragedy happened, and the Mansi might've been unusually frightened and agitated because of the strange lights in the sky. However, this tribe was allegedly not known to be violent, and the Mansi who were interviewed denied that the students had entered a sacred location. This case is extremely interesting because there are so many known facts available. But so far no one developed a fully convincing scenario.

The answer is simple, either it was the villagers because the Soviets invaded their sacred lands or the Finns created a supernatural myth to scare the Soviets. One or the other may have removed the dead and wounded to make it seem supernatural.
