He won a silver medal at the 1938 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in the 50 km.
In 1941, Rantalahti shot a Soviet prisoner of war who'd spoken back to him and resisted his commands. After the war, he went into hiding in northern Sweden, and remained in hiding until 1948. Rantalahti then came forward and was put on trial for the unlawful execution. He was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to one year in prison. He was pardoned by President Juho Kusti Paasikivi in 1950.[1]
