He defected from germany, went home to finland and went back into Finnish service during the continuation war.

Amazing!

@@v3tReacts The man was high speed low drag.

@@darkiee69 Törni did not defect. There were too many officers, so bunch of them were sent back home. Mostly those who were not so good in speaking germany.

He didn´t want to kill "Russians" per say he wanted to kill communism..and during communist era Russia where not Russia it was Soviet Union...be careful with words words thry are the only thing that differences humans from animals..! Also most leading party members during Soviet era wasn´t Russians they where from the "chosen tribe" JUICE or JOOOSS ;)..!

True, my granddad got twice Cross of Mannerheim and he got Iron Cross too. And hey nice reaction! Stay safe!

@@elaa.k.juutilainen5450 Ace whit 90+ kills ? Illu Juutilainen !! Suuri SANKARI !!

Btw. my dad fougth ( Mm.Taistelu lähettinä) in that war against ruskies/commis!!

@@sixtuspettersson6059 Yep the same dude, my dear granddad. And not to mention his big bro, my great uncle Aarne "Marokon Kauhu" Juutilainen. Oh what brothers!

@@sixtuspettersson6059 Interesting!

We were wondering if he was SS, TY for the information :D

@@v3tReacts interesting note, all foreign volunteers to the German army had to swear into the SS on joining - even if they held zero actual belief in the Nazi party (something Lauri didn’t care for, he just hated the Soviets that much). The reason they done this was it forced the foreign volunteers into a unbeknownst suicide pact - it pretty much forced them to fight to the end, as SS soldiers were rarely taken prisoner on the Eastern Front. In addition, when the war started to turn on Germany, it pretty much meant that once the crimes of the Nazi party were discovered, any and all SS would be charged under such war crimes. So those volunteers who had all be sworn in as SS would be charged similar. In essence your life at home is now ruined as everyone would consider you a Nazi and war criminal if you survived. They also knew if taken prisoner they be tried under allied or soviet jury - if you were tried under the Soviets you could pretty much consider yourself dead if you had “any” officiation with the SS - and by the end of the war if allied soldiers or soviet soldiers caught you, you had a high chance of facing deadly reprisals (yes both allied and Soviets soldiers would shoot surrender SS prisoners especially after stuff such as the concentration camps were found and when they would come upon hanged and beaten to death men and boys who had refused conscription in the final defence of Germany) as such the SS volunteers were put in a hard place, and by the end of the war many of these units would fight to the end - fun fact of history, during the final assault of Berlin, the Reichstag was defended by primarily French SS Volunteers. At least two thirds of the buildings defenders were volunteer troops from France.

@@reecedignan8365 Charlemagne Legion if I remember well

@@v3tReacts Those finns who went to germany was supposed to join wermacht or air force. All kinds of branches to learn modern warfare. Then politics came in the way - You go to the ss. There were politically oriented men among them for sure - Törni was not one of them. Törni was sent back to finland with bunch of other officers, there were too many off them. He did not see any action there untill he went back and joined to the german special forces after peace was made betweeen Finland and Russia.

I think the whole us army is bases on him lol

LMAO

@@Yyr85 Finland scout training is based on him as he was a scout he cuold be used thou sinper as well

505 confirmed kills in just a 100 days period. Just saying...

And btw... those kills only with he's rifle, they didnt count smg and other guns for that but they speak its about 700+

@@touho6667 Don't forget iron sites too!

I think it was given to 192 people and some got more than one...?

WOW thats crazy and VERY RESPECTABLE!! SALUTE!

I will add it to the list.

@@v3tReacts and if you do, pick live in Gothenburg with English subtitles 👍🏼

@@v3tReacts and make sure to pick "En Livstid i krig" in Ghotenburg from The Great War their official live video and subtitle/captions on

@@v3tReacts WATCH THE LIVE ONR

It was a paid request from the live last friday.

Indeeed!!!🤘🤘💯🤘🤘

well damn he was stacked..

@@v3tReacts Mannerheim Cross was also second class, but that is still pretty good achievement considering first class was only ever given to two people including Mannerheim himself.

RIP Lauri Törni. He only changed his name because it was convenient

AHHH ty makes sense

Thank you too!

Thank you! You too!

He isn't deadliest sniper in history , new record is I think above 1000 kills and he had around 500 but he did do it without any optics on he's rifle

@@ninocuric5290 look at the time frame as well. 100 days 500 kills.

@@ninocuric5290 His over 500 is the highest kill count. I think you are mixing over 1000 to longest kill.

Awesome info here guys!

Sorry my bad he is he had 545 kills next on the list is Vasili Kvachantiradze with 534 kills

At the end of the list you can even find "Major Lauri Törni, USA: Veteran of the Finnish Army, Waffen SS during World War II and U.S. Army Special Forces in Vietnam."
