Memories For This Unit

Other Memories
An illustration of the kinds of tasks entrusted to Törni is the secret operation in the Zagros mountains in Iran. In May 1962 the twelve-man Alpha commando unit led by Törni was given the assignment of retrieving equipment and the remains of crew members from an American spy plane which had crashed in the Zagros mountains at an altitude of almost 5000 metres. Törni's commandos carried out their task.
