Because it's a film, I think - I see no way, how a man directly sprayed from a flamethrower would live on to smoke another cigarette...  :-\

imagine a boot stamping on a human face

I'd agree with IJoe here.. it's a film. It's kind of unrealistic that this guy burns for more than 30secs and is still alive.. His clothes would have been burned, even if there are many many layers of them :P

As I happen to know a bit about fire, his unprotected parts (open skin) would be definitely burned to the bone in a matter of seconds, so it is just a crappy movie, in that particular aspect, at least.

Less than 15secs is what I saw, and his clotes were burned.
How cold is it in Finland in january again? He had a hood could (I know I would) turn his face away when flames (was napalm invented by the US in WWII? I belive that late war flamethrowers were more dealdly) hit him.

Just remember: Stop drop and roll. ;)

Man, did you take the basic physics course at school? You can't just "turn away" your face from the fire!
Besides, take an interest, google the temperature of the flame. And in Finland that particular year was up to -30 (some say -35) degrees celsius. Believe me, that's far from saving you from the open flame - on the contrary. But that's another basic course - anatomy.

WWII tank to leave refuge in Neva River

Quote
[.... This is not the first tank to be found in the Neva River near the Nevsky Pyatachok. Another machine was pulled up from the depths of the river in 2003. After spending more than 60 years in water, the tank remained in excellent condition and was later restored to its full glory and was even able to run after its original engine was reassembled.

Quote
[....The KV-1 battle tank, named after Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov, was widely used during World War II. The KV-1 tanks were known for their extremely heavy armor, which was completely immune to the shells fired from the Panzer III and Panzer IV German tanks.

Stop drop and roll. Thats all. Dont try to eat the flaming gasoline, drop youre face in the snow. ::)
Basic psysics? Fire goes upwards, water is a great coolant.
You know that was a real man (stuntman) burning there with some clotes on and some antiflame gel on his face. With some luck that Finish soldier would only need new epidermis and some eyebrows.

Oh my fucking god man, that was so awesome! Perhaps the most inaccurate re-enactment ever! I'm still not even sure if they were actually serious with this or not...
