Unknown Soldiers
Unknown Soldiers | Väinö Linna
4 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
'There they stood, bumbling into lines with a bit of difficulty: Mother Finland's chosen sacrifice to world history' Unknown Soldiers follows the fates of a ramshackle troupe of machine-gunners in the Second World War, as they argue, joke, swear, cadge a loaf of bread or a cigarette, combat both boredom and horror in the swamps and pine forests - and discover that war will make or break them. One of Finland's best-loved books, this gritty and unromantic depiction of battle honours the dogged determination of a country and the bonds of brotherhood forged between men at war, as they fight for their lives. 'A rediscovered classic... profound and enriching ... Unknown Soldiers still has the power to shock' Herald

Today is the independence day. I watched the classic movie version of The Unknown soldier and enjoyed the snow. I should really read the book again. It has been years since I did that and it has been the only war book I've ever liked.

Cinfhen Such a pretty photo ðŸ˜ðŸ“¸ 8y
Martta @Cinfhen Thanks! It's been snowing here for the past three days and today was the first day with sun. Ofcourse it was kind of cold too but that just makes pretty pictures. 8y
Kimzey Beautiful snowy landscape! Happy Independence Day! 🇫🇮 I hope I selected the right flag. 😊 8y

I've spent my childhood playing in old trenches in our near by forest. The connection with Finnish war history felt vague, my grandfathers stories of the war didn't link with my playground reality: I wasn't sure what they were, perhaps they had been dug to protect some castle somewhere...
