Largely unknown in the west, Field Marshall Mannerheim is one of the greatest military commanders of all time. The defense of Finland in WW2, against vastly superior Russia, was largely due to his outstanding leadership.
If he isn’t, he ought to be, one of Finland’s greatest hero’s.

I hope you realize that Finland fought against Russians alongside with Hitler in WW2.
