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...

 One of the most legendary stories about Winter war and soldier behind that story, Einar Schadewitz. And story goes like this: Einar was middle of the very hard battlefield. Russian tank was coming to his direction. Einar jumped from his foxhole to top of tank. He did knock the tank hatch and shouted "Hey russians open up, it is death who is knocking". Russian tank crew open up hatched and Einar throwed grenade inside and jumped off from tank. Tank crew was destroyed. This happened at Summa battlefield in Winter War, famous about super hard fighting ground. Einar earned his reputation as fearless fighter already in Winter War. And he did continue same way in Continuation War. In that war he did earn Mannerheim Cross, highest possible military decoration in Finland.

This is one of most amazing stories, that I have read. He for sure earns title “1 of the greatest war time heroes”. Witold Pilecki was volunteer to infiltrate to Auschwitz death camp. Task was to gather intelligence and report to Polish home army. He fixed things so he was arrested by SS. While being imprisoned in Auschwitz he organized resistance movement. And also sent reports to western allies about of Nazi Germany's Auschwitz atrocities. After almost 3 years of imprisonment he escaped from Auschwitz, and wrote comprehensive report about death camp. And as it would not be enough, after escape. He joined Polish resistance forces, and fought in Warsaw uprising. He was one the leading soldiers. Perfect story but it has sad ending. After war Polish communist regime charged him as traitor. And convicted to death. He was executed and body was never found. That was miscarriage of justice made by Polish communist leaders prefer Stalin. Unbelievable story of amazing man...
