An anthem to Antti Rokka. I got inspired watching the 2017 mini series version of the Unknown Soldier and made this piece. If it doesn’t give you goose bumps, watch the series. It’s very well done.

Obviously you should also watch the original 1955 film version :+1:
Photos are of the people and areas related to the 8. Jalkaväkirykmentti (8th infantry regiment) during the continuation war. The author of Tuntematon Sotilas (1955), Väinö Linna, fought within a machine gun company among the troops of the 8. JR.

According to Väinö Linna, Antti Rokka’s character is based on his brother in arms, Viljam Pylkäs.
