AFAIK, he was a patrol guy, making trips deep into enemy lines, and destroying supply routes, and enemy equipment far behind the frontline with his team.

Happy birthday Onni Määttänen, Finland Thanks you for your service!

Thumbs up Re: Mannerheim Cross Knight 100 years!

I guess this is the fastest way:

Mannerheim Cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also:

http://www.mannerheim.fi/10_ylip/e_manris.htm

Total list at least here:

Päämajamuseo

I´ll be back with more info, but I have already included a couple of stories of these heroes over here in the Forums.
