The Story of Larry Thorne

Overview

Lauri Törni (1919-1965) was a World War II hero and a recipient of the Mannerheim Cross - the highest award for gallantry on the field - in his native Finland. After the end of hostilities, the fiercely anti-Communist Törni found life at home difficult, and he emigrated to the United States. There he entered the U.S. military and became a decorated and much-rev Documentary about Lauri Törni, a heroic figure in the Winter and Continuation War, who also found his way into the German SS and later into the United States Army and the Vietnam War, in which he was killed.
