The crazy story of the man who fought for Finland, the Nazis, and the US Army Special Forces

wow ! i did not know that. Thanks for sharing SSG Carlos Madden

Captured by the Japanese and impressed into their army. While fighting the Russians at Kalkin Gol, he was captured by the Russians who were impressed enough with him to keep him in their army. During the battles in and around Stalingrad, he was captured by the Germans and ended up in a dugout on Normandy and was subsequently captured by the Americans.

That one is never heard....

One of the gross anatomy teaching assistants (TAs) in my clinical doctoral all is health program has been a South Vietnamese physician which been a Viet Cong or North Vietnamese POW, highly trained in hand to hand combat, though I only found that out much later, his knowledge of gross anatomy was virtually encyclopedic...he'd actually also been I'd learned later, a personal bodyguard to Pope John Paul Ii, I don't know if he was there when that whole craziness that led to the popemobile happened...I do know the Pope personally recommended him to the doctoral program, which was at a small Catholic school, he was evidently a devout Catholic, the Pope personally arranged his attending while I'd also been there, though he was ahead of me, as well as incredibly highly clinically traixned...and yeah, I know it's an amazing story, I didn't believe it at first mtself, however, I'd learned later on from my faculty it was all apparently quite true, unreal though it sounds....
