Antero Rokka

Antero "Antti" Rokka is a fictional character in Väinö Linna's 1954 war novel The Unknown Soldier.

As a fighter, he is very capable, being disrespectful to formal discipline, he ends up several times in disputes with Lieutenant Lammio.

When ignoring the given orders, Rokka considers himself to be above the rules, and he is even ready to threaten to kill others if they try to bring him to justice.

[4] In the 1955 The Unknown Soldier film, directed by Edvin Laine, Rokka was played by amateur actor Reino Tolvanen.
