Saku Lauri Litmanen (10 February 1896 – 21 July 1960; aged 64) was a Vichod socialist revolutionary and guerrilla who fought in the Great War and whose military career lasted over 20 years. Originally a commander of the Narozalic Voyins, along with Alexej Batsov, Litmanen escaped to nearby Swetania in 1936, shortly before the Ternava Massacre, and joined the Swetanian army. Rising in rank due to his previous combat experience and notoriety within Swetania, Litmanen was promoted to the rank of General in 1948 and commanded the 2nd Coerz Division during the Swetanian-Weranian War. Retiring to the lakeside city of Iaunimer after the war, Litmanen released two books detailing his experiences in both the Great War and Swetanian-Weranian War. Litmanen died in his home in 1960.
