Was he a Baltic German by ethnicity?
German-Swedish from Finland, who served the Russian Empire prior to the 1917 Revolution for a long time. History is messy.
Interesting.
He was also the only one who let the German Führer wait for HIM, while smoking. Man with character & integrity.
Mannerheim was loyal to the Tsar, but when the Tsar fell, the Throne and Empire he swore to serve was gone.
what is the debate?
It warms my heart that you still remember him.
