Long range patrol leader

Viljo Suokas (1920–1943), Knight of the Mannerheim Cross No.44.

When Winter War begun in 1939, Viljo was civil guard boy with no actual military training and first served in homefront sentry duties. He soon volunteered to army service and after short training was sent to 34th Infantry Regiment fighting at Kollaa, and was later moved to Sissi Detachment 12 operating in the same area. His skills in guerilla style warfare was noticed and after Winter War he received special training for long range patrol missions. In Continuation War Suokas served as patrol leader in Detachment Kuismanen (OsKu), and gained lots of reputation as very capable and skillful leader. He was credited for many successful reconnaissance and sabotage missions, and capturing important prisoners, killing high ranking enemy officers and bringing files with valuable information. Suokas was wounded at Karhumäki on November 26, 1941. Longest time he spent behind enemy lines was 46 days. Viljo Suokas died on October 4, 1943, soon after he was wounded to his stomach while clearing a storage building of small enemy logistics center at Segezha, a town by the Murmansk railway.

Those are great pics; you're very fortunate to have them. I especially like the ones with your uncle having a beer and the downed Messerschmitt. In the second to last - is that a Free French plane? Also is it possible to get a close up of the artwork on his life vest (mae west)? Thanks for posting.

Staying with the plane thread...

Guesses anyone?

This one I'll tell you since its incomplete. Curtis Hawk II Export One of two flown in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I read that Georing bought them to bribe Ernst Udet to join the Nazi Party.

I didn't say it was going to be hard; the other would have been hard. Unless you recognized it from Wikipedia.

I think he IS bored, because he's just standing around for pictures and not killing Nazis.

Oh, and the other guy, I'm thinking he's the love child of Abe Vigoda and Herman Munster.

I was going to say #53 was a buffalo trainer but uh....
I'd like to know what that twin boom pusher prop in the background is though...

I was thinking of your callous response to the story of one CGN'rs Wehrmacht grandfather starving in the French POW camps. I apologize for the broad statement, PM sent with an explanation. No need to derail a sweet thread any further.
