Closing Note

Koskenkorva might not be moving forward at the moment, but your ideas were valuable, and we'll see if we end up getting the deal in order.

Description

The Nazis gotta drink something when they celebrate. So what better than a Finnish vodka brand - Koskenkorva? The Koskenkorva people are interested, but we need to come up with a good story for them - how did the Moon Nazis get their hands on Koskenkorva?

According to Wikipedia, it was bottled first time in 1953... And the last time Nazis were in Finland was when they liberated Lapland for it's flora, late 40's...

So could you help us out here and tell us Why, When and How they have delivered the goods to the Far Side of the Moon.

Or is this just a stupid idea and a hopeless attempt to get some free alcohol?

Anyway, we need some help - how to product place the Finnish vodka Koskenkorva to Iron Sky. The best explanation might show up in film, if it's good enuff!

Destroying the little red house on the moon

In 2012 researchers from Malardalens University in Sweden launched a rocket carrying a robot to the Moon. The robot was able to autonomously find a suitable area to assemble the a small red wooden building on the moon. (see: http://thefutureofthings.com/pod/7016/little-house-on-the-moon.html)

One week later April 1st 2012 Finnish Students from Tampere University of Technology launched their rival Supikoira-10 rocket carrying a sixpack of their favourite drink - Koskenkorva - targeting to crash the little red house by precisely targeting the house with the sixpack landing module. The motivation of the students beeing to humiliate the loved Swedish rivals.

Nazis monitoring any flight activity on the Moon detected the landing of both vessels. They salvage the Koskenkorva sixpack and fall in love with taste. They fetch more Koskenkorva on their reconnaissance missions to Earth.

or the rocket was supposed to carry something more "constructive", but some student covertly changed the payload to Koskenkorva bottles at the last moment.

They Invent it

When Nazis where in Finland they stole the secret formula of Koskenkorva from its inventor. You said Finland start bottling in 1953, but who said the formula wasn't invented in 40s? So Nazis took that formula to the moon and started making a Koskenkorva. And because they have had intelligence of Earth from the Moon. They copied the Bottle Design, when it came out in Finland. Before that it was just normal bottle.

Seems the most logical, I mean not every part of this movie has to be out of the world.

Daniel Saarimäki June 18, 2010 10:27 Flag

That's a nice idea! Should work.

Hmm...

Altia who is the maker of koskenkorva rebranded koskenkorva couple o years ago as 013. The 013 is old marketing code for koskenkorva which only professional booze sellers and bartenders used to know until recently.

Koskenkorva contains 3g of added sugar per litre that's the main difference from vodka.

Maybe 013 happened to be a engineering code for nazies special bioalcohol fuel? And they are very amazed that people drink it in bars in Finland. Maybe even a scene where a young nazi soldier is sent to get some 013 from "waffen bruders" and he end up into a bar where he is given koskenkorva when asking for liquid called 013.

There are lots of these 013 banners in Finnish bars and there is a ful range of 013 products made by altia who is trying to make old koskenkorva international by marketing it under tis "013 The Original" brand. So I guess this 013 would work with them.

It's all in the grain

This is just a little thought and rough scetch of possible Koskenkorva plot...
Perhaps someone have been writing somethign similar earlier as I must admit I havent read all prev. ideas.

What makes Koskenkorva into Koskenkorva is perhaps the grain used.
Let's say that the Nazis had a little secret base in Finnland in the region of Southern Ostrobothnia perhaps an early communication center and logistic.

To diverse the Nazies that went to the moon they were selected form several countries; here also a couple of Finns were chosen.
Thus tradition of destilling went to the moon.
The grain that the Nazies took to the Moon originated form Finnland thus giving us the right grain for the right drink.

When the Konskenkorva destillign started in Finnland this was communicated to the Moon base.

The Finns selected to brand their destill on the Moon Koskenkorva to honor their fatherland and to keep the sisu alive on the Moon.
Perhaps they had to forsaken the sauna and took to recreational drinking instead (but a hard sell to make a Finn give up the sauna).

Grain... grain....

How about... CROP CIRCLES?

I mean... the REAL reason behind crop circles being the moon nazis harvesting different types of grain for their own perverted and secret purposes? 8)

Simply don't bother

I never would have found out that "Koskenkorva" was not manufactured until after the "Spacenazis" left. Simply don't bother with such small facts. The movie has to be continous in itself, and with some big well known facts of the real world.

If you really are thouthfull of problems that might arise by using "Koskenkorva" here is one. The name sounds somewhat like "Kostenkurve" in German. That would mean smt. like "(Financial) expense curve".

Hey maybe getting so much "Koskenkorva" to the moon is just so expensive it raises the "Kostenkurve" .. LOL !

Also do Nazi's drink at all ? They should be disciplined people right ?

Did you know the first to start an anti-smoking campaign?They also wanted to limit peoples drinking and have a healthy balanced lifestyle.

But that was at home, in the field they used alcohol,drugs, you name it.Were given out alcohol in the field when available, or they looted it. And for the active soldiers it was encouraged(relaxing calm etc), but if you got drunk and disorderly you could get in serious problems(With nazis being in serious trouble was not a good sign...)

My grandfather told me they used a drug to get more energy, had to research as i could not remember the name, it was pervitin. Maybe the moon nazis now have perfected it, making super soldiers?:-)

They used meth etc, and combined with alcohol, you got a berserker...

Moonshine

The expression moonshine means the home distilled "illegal" alcohol. Perhaps the idea of Koskenkorva in this movie first appears when german and finnish soldiers are making their own spirit in some sauna or in the forest. And the moonshine being the spirit and the shining moon in the sky makes the man Hans Kammler dream about antigravity motor and make this big invention.

So that connects Koskenkorva to the storyline. There is allways a bottle of Koskenkorva or a pre-form of it "moonshine" available for Hans Kammler for inspiration...and soon the nazis will fly to the moon!

Operational Antarctica

I wonder if it's possible that they, the SS-Mondkorps, continue to employ on-site staff in their base in Antarctica?

This would give them 1) access to knowledge otherwise seemingly unattainable, 2) access to Earth-based weather reports to as to "visit" during storms, blizzards, typhoons, etc. to avoid being detected and, 3) an easy way to casually explain how they've got a brand of vodka established after their reign (and most importantly, some extra production cash for the product placement). ;)

teleportation from destillery

During the End of WW2, Finland captured a German vessel, bringing back a big stainless steel tank made in Sweden. According to the captured Germans, the tank was supposed to be used in a continous destillery, an efficient technology to create booze. So the Finnish decided to use it just for this purpose and created their famous Koskenkorva.

What the Germans did not tell was that it was indeed for a secret teleportation experiment in Peenemünde, and it contained quantum entangled inner layers. The experiments were only partly successful as all teleported matter was always liquefied and scrambled beyond recognition.

One German engineer on the moon had been involved in those experiments and created an identical copy of the tank. Although they had no idea of the whereabouts of the missing counterpart, they initiated a teleportation from earth in hope something useful might show up. And on the moon, almost everything is useful.

To their surprise, the teleported liquid contained alcohol and did not exhibit toxic results after prisoners had involuntarily been subjected to it. Further research revealed the true source, and in honor of Finland, which once fought side-by-side to Wehrmacht soldiers during operation Barbarossa in 1941, they replicated the original bottles.
