Evil Empire

Dictator Putin continues what Dictator Stalin started. Some years ago Russia did start new narrative about Finnish war crimes in WW2. Claims about concentration camps and genocide. All of this aiming just to justify military actions towards Finland. And just for the record, those are just lies, without any evidence. Even straight after WW2, Soviet union prosecutor committee did not find war crimes. On the contrary they did prove that there was not any.   Fi war trials Then few war crimes in WW2 committed by Soviet union, but as usual never admitted by Soviet Union even all hard facts existing. Seitajärvi Elisenvaara After war Kaleva Basically allies (Britain, USA and etc..) in WW2 just helped 1 evil empire to crush another one. It is so amazing when Russia is by the far largest country in the world, and still they just can't fit within their borders, they always need to have war somewhere.  Here excellent video by former Finnish Intelligence officer, explaining why Russia will...

The Panzer Count, General Von Strachwitz

The Panzer Count, Devil itself

If you check WW2 Panzer Ace statistics, you can find out how those are dominated by German soldiers. Names like Kurt Knispel, Otto Carius and Michael Wittman, their tank kill records on scale 138 – 168. Soviet union aces have records up to 52 and other allies like USA's Lafayette Green Pool with 12 tank kills.

Of course statics are always not 100% accurate, but they give understanding of scale anyway.

You can't find Panzer Count Strachwitz on those lists. He did never keep count on tank kills. But it has been estimated between 150-200. Which makes him one of the most successful tank commanders ever. He was one the 27 men from whole German army, who was decorated with Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds. He participated battles on Stalingrad, Kursk, Kharkov and etc.. He did earn his legendary reputation leading his men on the front and he was wounded 14 times.

Quota from Soviet union army communication, captured message on the eastern front: “ Be aware, enemy forces are lead by von Strachwitz the devil himself. Try to avoid contact in anycase”

Book is written by Raymond Bagnodas. The Devil's General – The life of Hyazinth Graf von Strachwitz, it is published in 2013. Very well written and give's good picture about life story of The Panzer Count..

There was several legendary battle grounds such as: Summa, Raate, Taipaleenjoki, Kollaa and so on. But one of hardest battles of that war was fought in northeast of lake Ladoga.
