Hakkapeliitta

a_hakkapelitta

The Hakkapeliitta were the fearsome Finnish cavalry known for their gruesome effectiveness on the battlefield. The name Hakkapeliitta is a Finnish modification of the names that the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire gave them, stemming from their battle cry 'Hakkaa päälle!', or 'Hack on them!'/'Cut them down!'. The Hakkapeliitta were feared for their sudden and savage attacks that shocked the enemy into submission.
