Nazi to Green Beret - The Soldier Who Somehow Joined Both the German and US Army

When Larry Thorne enlisted in the United States Army as a private in 1954, he was already a controversial war hero in two other countries. Larry's real name was Lauri Törni, and he was actually born in Finland. For most of his adult life he had been fighting against the Soviets both as part of the Finnish Army and the Waffen-SS during World War II.
