GM FOLKS: HOW ABOUT A GOOD OLD FASHION WAR STORY TO INSPIRE GREAT FEATS OF BRAVERY & GLORY THIS WEEKEND.

This ones called:

"Aimo Koivunen: the pagan god of death feared by all communists"

Enjoy!

During WW2, methamphetamine was sold in tablet form under the brand name Pervitin.

It was used extensively by all branches of the German armed forces (Luftwaffe pilots, in particular) for its performance-enhancing stimulant effects and to induce extended wakefulness.

The day is March 18, 1944.

A Finnish ski patrol in the terrain of Finnish lapland is on the third day of its mission behind enemy lines when the group is ambushed by Soviet forces at the foot of Korvatunturi fell.

During an intense firefight, the men manage to slip past the enemy who are trying to encircle them.

What ensues is a wild pursuit on skis. Skiing for his fucking life & chased by half the Red Army, young Aimo Koivunen opens the track in the virgin snow.

But after some time he feels his energy slipping away and begins to exhaust. The Soviets are gaining on them until Koivunen remembers that he has the group’s entire supply of Pervitin in his breast pocket.

Before that he has taken a suspicious view of the strong stimulant that was given out to commando forces operating behind enemy lines, but now the situation is serious.

The men have to ski fast and it is not easy to dig out just one pill, so he dumps the whole supply — 30 pills — into his mitten.

Suddenly his squad see him lobbing their entire supply of meth down his gullet. Koivunen’s skiing gets a new boost, he ploughs through at warp speed.

This lasts for just a short time. Soon he notices distortions in his vision, & his consciousness fades. The others see him disappearing into the distance screaming:
“PERKELEPERKELSURMATASURMATATAPPAATAPPAATAPPA”

as he is overcome by the spirit of Tursas, the Finnish God of War.

The rest of the squad escape by following the steaming gap he burned through the snow, and manage to get back to base.

The overdose of methamphetamine contained in the pills puts Koivenun into a deep state of delirium lasting several days, with alternating phases of wakefulness, sleep, and hallucinations.

His next recollection is from the next morning. He is 100 kilometres away. He has lost his patrol, and has no more ammunition, or food. Now he faces a real ordeal just to survive.

During the days that follow, Koivunen successfully flees Soviet partisan forces, is injured by a land mine, and lies for a week in a pit in the snow waiting for help to arrive.

Back at base, his comrades begin to hear strange stories reported of a Finn on skies ambushed and personally beat an entire Soviet platoon to death with his bare hands.

Soviet motor pool mechanics are stunned to find dozens of Ural motorcycles completely disassembled overnight.

Scouts report the sighting of a gaunt figure in tattered Finnish camp eating parts of trees and catching birds with his hands before eating them whole.

Strange assemblies of laboratory equipment and random chemicals are found burning in the forest.

He skis for more than 400 kilometres in temperatures of -20°C. During two weeks the only food he has are pine buds and a Siberian jay that he catches and eats raw.

When he is finally rescued his pulse rate is nearly 200 BPM and his weight has dropped to 43 kilos.

He is completely emaciated and without any recollection of the last few days, but with a giant sack of catalytic converters & stolen jewellery he can’t explain.

Aimo Koivunen’s adventure story is part of the history of Finland’s wartime commando forces.

But it is historical in another sense as well: Koivunen became one of the first Finns to overdose on speed.

If you like this story, and think we should all try to emulate the absolute legendary prowess of this Finnish madcvnt, RT below.
