Lauri Törni was a real-life action hero who lived in Finland a long time ago. He was born in 1919 and grew up in a small town called Vyborg. He was always very adventurous and loved the outdoors. When he was young, he joined the military and became a talented soldier.
Once, Törni fought against the Soviet Union, which was a big country next to Finland. He did a lot of brave things, like sneaking behind enemy lines and gathering secret information. He won many medals for his bravery in battles. But unfortunately, Finland lost that war, so Törni had to flee to another country.
After a while, Törni went to Sweden, which is a big country next to Finland. There, he learned how to fight as a soldier again and became very good at it. He also became friends with some Americans who were in Sweden. Törni really liked the Americans and their way of life.
