Youth emphasis

It should be somehow mentioned that he never stopped believing in, and encouraging the youth. In just about every interview, he at some point said that the young people are Finland's best hope for the future.--Elmeri B. Suokirahvi 20:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wartime

His war history should include the incident where he intentionally ordered artillery to bombard area where finnish troops were as they were surrendering to the enemy. He intentionally killed his own troops to prevent his own humiliation. He was a coward and he never ever regret what he had done and this information was intentionally buried as he was the idol of so many people. When in reality he was just a murderer and coward who should had been put to jail for that incident. --80.221.239.213 (talk) 22:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.221.235.130 (talk) [reply]

There is some contorversy about this matter as some people in Finland see this character as somekind of savior of Finland. Image that had been build around him after the war. His attitude towards the soldiers who died could be clearly seen what he said during his life after the war. The man was in love of his image and didn't really care about anyone else. Also many of his war time achievements have been started to be seen as inaccurate. There is some memoirs done by people that have been showing different things than the "real" history. One of them saying that Ehrnrooth ordered the artillery fire on the position he knew finnish soldiers were surrendering. He also states there that Ehrnrooth used a drug that is a stimulus and then using sleeping bills to sleep and this incident happened when they had to wake him up and it usually made him irritable as he was addicted of the drug. He says to have witnessed this himself. I don't have the book so can't add the info here. --Wezqu (talk) 19:26, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
