Lauri Törni alias Larry A. ThorneStarted out as a reserveSoon promoted when deservedAnd the legend has begunWith a bounty on his headThe Red Army wants him deadSoviet enemy Number OneLauri Allan Törni, native of Viipuri, Finland, was conscripted in the Finnish miltary in late 1938, and went to NCO school. He was to finish his tour of duty in December 1939, but Winter War came in-between. Törni had attained the rank of Corporal and acted as the veterinarian of his battalion.Soon his intelligence and initiative was realized, and he participated in the actual bang-bang battles with great success, going through ranks. He went to military academy in 1940, graduating as second lieutenant. He volunteered in the Waffen-SS in Germany 1941, but was repatriated in July 1941.In the Continuation War, Törni initially commanded a tank platoon, but was assigned later to head of a light battalion’s reconnaissance platoon. He proved to be extremely courageous, intelligent and being both innovative and initiative.In 1943 he was assigned to the commander a special forces company. He really was in his own element now. Detachment Törni became so successful that Stalin declared a bounty of his head. Detachment Törni consisted of long rangers, who did guerrilla strikes to Soviet rear, hunted down partisans and terrorists, and did reconnaissance and destroyed logistics.In 1944, he was awarded the Mannerheim Cross, the highest Finnish military decoration. He attained the rank of Captain.After the Armistice, Törni escaped to Germany. He was sure Finland was going to be occupied by USSR and prepared for guerrilla actions. He had previously served in the Waffen-SS, and now attained the rank of Hauptsturmführer (corresponds to captain). He returned to Finland after the war.Unbeknowst to him, the Valpo, state security police, had now been manned by Communist sympathizers, and they were after him. USSR had coerced Finland to declare an ex post facto law on people guilty of war, and joining the Germans was a high treason under the law.He was arrested and imprisoned, accused of treason. He managed to escape, and fled to Sweden. There he jumped a ship to Venezuela, where he changed to a Norwegian freighter. He jumped off the ship at Mobile, Alabama, and swam to harbour.Törni settled among American Finns in Brooklyn, doing odd jobs. His former superior, Alpo Marttinen, had gotten clue of him, and arranged him a place as a Private in the US military.Meanwhile in Finland, Törni was declared to have lost his citizenship and his officer’s rank, and issued an ABP.Törni was a natural soldier, and he quickly advanced through the ranks. He learned English, got naturalized, got citizenship and changed his name to Larry Alan Thorne. He applied to Special Forces, underwent parachute training, and eventually was admitted to officer school.Thorne, having changed his name and abandoned his ungrateful fatherlandThorne became somewhat a legend in the Green Berets. In the age most people were well past the prime of their military career, Thorne excelled in all tasks. His most remarkable task was rescuing a helicopter at Zagros Mountains, Iran, at 4300 m altitude where all other rescue teams had failed. He was quickly promoted to Captain.USA managed to tangle itself to Vietnam quagmire, and Thorne hated Communists pathologically. He had a good reason for it: his hometown, Viipuri, had been annexed by USSR. So he volunteered to fight in Vietnam, applying his special forces’ skills and experience in Finnish forests on jungle warfare. [Tactics in taiga and jungle are actually surprisingly similar.]His incredible luck failed him eventually. His helicopter crashed on a mountainside in extremely bad weather in October 1965, killing everyone onboard instantly. He was 46. He was posthumously promoted as Major.Törni was never forgotten by his comrades-in-arms nor the Finnish special forces. When the Parachute Rangers were founded in 1961, the old members of Detachment Törni declared the Parachute Rangers as their descendants and heirs. Törni was considered the most courageous and brave of all Mannerheim Cross awardees.President Mauno Koivisto was one of original Törni’s men. He served as a Private - later as a Corporal - on his long rangers, and he kept connection with his comrades-in-arms. He had a habit of quietly disappearing - SDP party meetings, Bank of Finland board meetings, Government office - and going to spend the night with his old buddies. Törni’s Men never announce when they are going or where, he always said.The remains of the helicopter Thorne flew on his last mission 1964 were eventually found in 1998. His remains, and those of three South Vietnamese comrades-in-arms were buried together in a brothers-in-arms grave at Arlington Cemetary 2003. President Koivisto was present, representing Finland. His two sisters, and the representants of the Long Rangers Guild and Parachute Rangers’ Guild, were also there.A honour which has never really been lost need not be rehabilitated, and punishment stated by an unconstitutional ex post facto law is never a valid one.Shout, Lauri Törni's nameA soldier of three armies knows the gameKeeps their echo from the pastRise from beyond your graveSon of Finland and the Green BeretMay you rest in peace at lastLauri Allan Törni
