It Just Works Swedish Dusty flies into Nigeria

If you read about Carl Gustaf von Rosen, you'd wonder why Sabaton hasn't released a banger about their fellow Swedish madlad yet.

No, seriously, he's MacGyver but with airplanes and managed to make the MFI-9 Malmo take out contemporary Soviet-donated jet fighters and bombers, the equivalent of converting a Red Bull stunt plane as a ground attack plane to blow up Tupolev Backfires and Flankers on a Russian airfield. He'd probably love this group.

Edit: MacGyver, not MacGruber.

His father donated the first aircraft for the Finnish air force in 1918 (and since von Rosen had swastikas painted onto those planes, Finnish air force would use a blue swastika as their symbol.) Carl himself would later fly combat missions for Finland in WW2.

Also, do not insult him by comparing him to MacGruber when he was literally MacGyver. All the way down to doing humanitarian missions because of his strong idealistic beliefs.

Sorry, the MacGruber bit was a typo.

the man actually used the swastika as his symbol way BEFORE becoming a nazi anyway. there's speculation that the von Rosen estate was supposedly the first place Goering encountered the symbol
