The thumbnail (colorized by JuliusJaa &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/juliusjaa\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/juliusjaa\/<\/a>) depicts Aarne Juutilainen or the &#8220;The Terror of Morocco&#8221;. This particular photo was taken earlier in December 1939 during the battle of Kollaa, where he acquired a hero status. He owed his name to his service in the French Foreign Legion in Morocco, where he served from 1930 to 1935. By 1940, he commanded his own &#8216;Moroccan company&#8217;, a unit made out of decorated soldiers known for their superior skills.<\/p>\n<p>We sincerely hope that you enjoy the videos we put out for you all!
