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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
