Another Finnish soldier, though from a slightly different era. The only man to be decorated by both sides in both World Wars. Served the Tsar, lead his country in two wars against the Soviet Union and said no to Himmler when he demanded the Finnish Jews (they were serving in the Finnish army) and to Hitler when he wanted the Finnish Airforce to bomb Leningrad.
