Its crazy how much he did, what he went through and never died. From eating just bread and sugar, eating snow. Burying himself in snow. Not using a scope. Getting shot in the face, And still after that, got death threats from the people he saved. True warrior, and hero. RIP, Simo, rest in peace, and history.

In total ppl estimated between all the guns he used he had around 800 to 1000 kills.

@@MisterBlaargh He did not use a score because he was using his own personal hunting rifle and there just was no need to a scope. He mastered his own rifle so well, knew the distances accurately and was able to aim correctly. Also, when using a scope you lose most action outside the scope, but with iron sights you still have a great 180 degree vision and you don't lose focus and don't have to move to scout the battlefield in front of you.

​@@harrycline985😅 Funny to see your comment, because last couple months I have been try to think that what it would take, like I have think that what are the 'at least' needed things and stuff to be done and conduct, and with who etc to make a movie about Simo. Starting point is difficult because I am not anykind expert or professional, what it comes to movie production. Same time I also believe that this time in history, is maybe the best, or most likely to get like mediocore success with movie project like this. There are kickstarters and internet as an whole, to exploit for the movie's cause...I started to think it after I see finnish movie Sisu(2022). After I see sisu, and its relative success, I believe that so many things is possible nowadays, if u just are up on the task...

​@@harrycline985 So what we need, to be starter seed of the project. Well, its kinda clear that u have to hire director, cameramen and whole crew. That made me think a necessity of kickstarter kind of monetize system, but its not the one and only right way. Anyway, we need vision. We need a concept idea of what kind of movie it going to be. I mention Sisu-movie again because that shallow drama and characters persona etc, was genuinely skipped, and all glory and artistic visions was handed to that splatter/pulp violence, but they nail it. That style would been perfect match with white death movie. Actually director of Sisu named two main inspiration to his movie was Rambo first blood and story of Simo "white death" Häyhä... Hmm..interesting

19:55 It wasn't Finnish newspaper that gave him the nickname "White Death". It was russians calling him "Belaya Smert" AKA you know...

I live in Finland and it's cool that people talk about someone cool character from my country. Häyhä also never 100% surely confirmed his kill count but easily over 500 kills he got

I've known about Simo for most of my life (I'm 55). Growing up in a military family in the US, famous soldiers such as Simo, Audie Murphy, and so many others, were history lessons my dad would teach his boys... and if I had sisters, they would have learned about them, too. As someone who has studied Simo, I greatly appreciate this video as an honorable, respectful commentary about this little farm boy who was dedicated to doing all he could to save his country from occupation - no matter the odds. Thank you.

Truly a Legend.

He said he needed that because it was his first time seeing that rifle and he hasn’t fired anything aside from his Garand since 1990. He stormed through the sniping competition with ease never missing the bullseye against modern men who use modern scopes and gears. Plain old farm clothes and leather gloves taking that gold medal and prize money then walked away.

And this dude did it with an old mosin nagant M28/30 without a scope and could pop off 16 shots accurately in 1 min....at a target 500 feet away...while having to reload his gun 4 times in process!!?? And he still managed to be insanely accurate!!?? And with a nickname like "the white death" this dude should be more well known and there needs to be a movie made about his life!!?? His story is Crazy & he deserves to be more well known for what he did!!??

A legend who returned to peaceful, quiet life after the war: Like a true finn he didn't brag about his achievements but did his job the best he could. Counter snpers, artillery trikes, nothing helped the enemy until a single lucky shot. And even that didn't stop him permanently.

Wow what an amazing story of Simo’s life! The first I’ve heard of him and you told his story brilliantly! To use so little and help his country 👏. Ofc it’s horrific that he had to live his later years with death threats from the people he helped to continue their way of life is just disgusting

Thank`s again, for a good video. Some things to get "right" though: The map of Finland lacks, Karelian isthmus, parts of northeastern Karelia and the "right arm of the Finnish Maiden"= up towards Murmansk/Petsamo. And, not to forget, Simo Häyhä, used his "Brush", a.k.a:Suomi machine pistol, for "cleaning up" in russian trenches. These numbers are not included in those 500+, confirmed kills. And, finally, he was shot with a exploding ammunition, forbidden in Geneva Convention, which russians didn`t care much about, as always. Take a closer look at Ukraine today. from a Finn in Diaspora (My grandparents, lost family farm back then.)

I can fire, reload fire every 3 - 4 seconds keeping a 2 in group at 200 yards with a Remington 1903A3 , a comparable rifle. Something to add, Simo rapidly acquired individual multiple target without detection, although his scars show he was tagged at least once. My hat off to Simo,,,Semper Fi mac
