Fashionable Jorts posted:Nah, they just gave it the nickname. Firebombs like that had been used for hundreds of years, and were especially popular during the Spanish Civil war a few years earlier. However, they became a staple among the Finns due to the poo poo design of the Russian tanks. Firebombs were used to blind the crew; you set the tank on fire and the people inside can't see what they are shooting at. But these terrible tanks would suck in the flames and bad things would happen. There's a story behind the name, actually. During the war, the Russians used these giantass cluster bombs to bombard Finnish cities, while one of their politicians - named mMlotov - loudly denied accusations of bombing civilian targets, claiming they were shipments of bread to a starving people. So Finns started first calling those bombs 'Molotov breadboxes'.. and when they started mixing firebombs, they'd say they were sending Molotov a drink back as a thank-you for all the bread. So yeah. Don't gently caress with a Finn - we don't get even, we get creative. Drake_263 fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Sep 27, 2015 |

It had a good gun and it had thick, sloped armor. by "for their time", i do mean they were better than what most other armies were using at the time nobody else besides Germany had that well developed armored forces in 1939 Drake_263 posted:There's a story behind the name, actually.

They were also taught to shoot for the stomach and/or the groin instead of the center mass - more demoralizing and forcing the Russians to spend men and supplies to try and recover their wounded. Basically the whole modern Finnish military doctrine is based on the fact that we're such a small country - a bigger, more militant attacker like Russia probably could take us, the objective is to just make the whole process of actually conquering us such a comprehensive pain in the dick that they don't want to.

Finland was good when it was east Sweden and we got into a lot of useless war with Finnish cannon fodder to die for us, then the Russians got tired of our poo poo and cut off our balls. Without Finnish men to die for us we decided sending actual Swedes to die wasn't any fun, so instead we decided to be the smuggest pricks in the north and treat our Nordic brethren as retarded children.

On a more lighhearted note, we also enjoy a whole brand of (terribly bad) jokes that boil down to a Finn, a Swede, and some third person (typically a Norwegian) competing at something. Usually the Finn is the one who wins in some clever off-the-wall way, the Norwegian is the one who puts in a solid honest effort, win or lose, and the Swede is the one who manages to comprehensively gently caress it up in an amusing kind of a way. Example 1: A Finn, Swede and a Norwegian men are trapped at the rooftop of a burning building. The stairwell is on fire and the building is too tall for them to safely jump from. Terrified for their lives, the three of them pray for rescue.. and an angel appears. "Name one thing," the angel says, "And that will be what you fall into when you jump." "Pillows!", yells the Norwegian, taking a running leap - and of course, he lands in a massive pile of pillows that's miraculously appeared, shaken but happily alive. "One-hundred euro bills!", calls the Finn, and when he jumps, he's cushioned by a whole hill of loose bills, alive and now also fabulously rich. The Swede, meanwhile, can already feel the flames licking at his heels. Running for the edge of the roof, he's getting ready to jump - and on the last step, slips on bird droppings and tumbles over the edge. "Oh, poo poo!" Example 2: A Finn has ended up the roommate of a Swedish student at their stint in the university. Most of the time they get along fine, but both of them being major literary nuts, each is convinced of the innate superiority and beauty of their respective native languages - much to the chagrin of the rest of their friends, who get to listen to them contantly bicker and snipe at one another. Finally, an English exchange student snaps. "Alright, fine, we'll solve this for once and for all if it makes you two bloody idiots shut up," says he. "Here, I'll give you a random English verse you need to translate to your own languages, and then we'll compare them and see which one sounds better. Here we go.. Island, island, grassy island, grassy island's bride." "Saari, saari, heinäsaari, heinäsaaren morsian," translates the Finn while his friends nod along. The Swede, meanwhile, makes a face, trying to figure out a good translation, until he's done - "Ö ö, hö ö, hö ös mö."

But deep inside we all know its a frozen hellwaste straight out of a lovely post-apoc movie. National sports include axe throwing (kirveenheitto), boot throwing (saapasheitto) and carrying your wife on your shoulders in a race to win her weight in beer (ämmänkanto). Sauna and beer is legit though this legit sounds awesome

the alcohol actually makes sense from a logistic point of view. water is frozen solid for 80% of the year and dirty bog for 20% of the year. vodka doesn't freeze, vodka doesn't get bacterial infections.
