“He was young and naive”
Finland was allied with Germany in World War II. It made some pimples enlisted in the SS.
– He was not recruited by the Finnish army, he was only 17 years old. And his brother who fell in World War II was in the army. He wanted to do that to him. He was young and naive, says Love Antell.
Met him every summer
Antti Aaltonen died 15 years ago. Until then met Love him every summer. Loves Grandpa has not expressed any remorse for their actions or at all wanted to talk about the war.
– He also spoke Finnish, and I speak Swedish as the language barrier between us was that we could not talk about it. I have asked my mother very much about it. She always wanted to know more. But it has been a closed door, he said.
