A few inaccuracies with this particular video: -Häyhä wasn't shot by a sniper, but a Soviet infantryman. Had he been alone in a sniper's nest, he might've died. -Häyhä froze the snow in front of his barrel, not his barrel, in order to prevent the fumes from puffing the smoke in front of the gun barrel. The snow in mouth also prevented vapor from forming. -He also disliked the sniper scopes because the lens would get foggy and freeze over in the cold winter. He was asked once how did he feel about his deeds during the Winter War, and he simply responded: "I did my job as well as I could". He never really liked the fame of being the deadliest sniper of all time.

6:18 reminds me of this story: at one time, the Soviets heard a man shouting from the nearby woods "One Finnish soldier is better than 10 Soviets!" Annoyed, they sent a squad of 10 soldiers to deal with this man. Shots are heard, then silence. Suddenly, they hear again "One Finnish soldier is better than 50 Soviets!". Getting angry, they now send in 50 soldiers. Again shooting, screaming, then silence. The unseen man shouts again "One Finnish soldier is better than 100 Soviets!". Really pissed, the Soviets now send 100 soldiers. Shooting, screaming, silence. But this time, one survivor returns. He reports to his commanding officer and begs him "Please sir, don't send any more men. It's a trap! There are actually two of them!"

The Finns had, and still have, a lot of top-tier snipers, and a lot of interviews were done with quite a few of them after the war.

A coworker of mine told me 5 years ago about his father that was a finnish jägerinfanterist during ww2 which meant he used bicycles and/or skis to move around. During an engagement on the Karelen isthmus(border region to Russia) his father was ordered along with his batallion to spearhead through a artillery post with bunker fortification connected. They had 5 snipers paving the way for them. I dont know if it was Simo Häyhä but they apparently was good. They used friendly artillery masking their movement and snipers shot look outs. Safe to say the finns were experts in asymmetric warfare at that time. :)

Anyone else triggered by the fact when they talked about his rifle they showed a Mauser ? He used a Finnish M28/30 Mosin Nagant they were Russian rifles that were improved. They added higher quality barrels, significantly better triggers, improved stocks. better sights, and free floated the barrel. I have one of the next generation of Finnish Mosins the M39 which is immensely better than the standard M91/30 which I also have a few of.

There's couple mistakes in video. I think I've read that Häyhä was shot in retreat, not by Russian sniper and secondly, he wanted to take apart to Continuation War but army refused to take him, because of injury. Finnish government DIDN't give him a "ready" farm, but only some patch of land to build a house on himself and he actually built a small house to himself.

You should also notice, that he did all this in less than a 100 days.. since the winter war lasted only 105 days and they did not allow him back in service later in the continuation war (1941-) because of his injury. He was a very humble man, who just did his job.

@xGoodOldSmurfehx 2 жыл бұрын

Simo sniped soviets and when they didnt come, he grabbed a pair of ski and some guys and went on infiltration missions behind soviet lines, doing recon but also sabotage and ambush against soviet convoys this is why his body count is unofficially as high as 800+ total kills with at least 500 of them being sniper kills

@thenarrator1921 2 жыл бұрын

I think this was a very summarized video of Simo. There are a lot of ommitted details here, few of my 'favorite' ones is 1.) He had a lot of positions prepared, and everyday he would check for any footmarks or human tracks to make sure his positions are still safe 2.) When he got blasted in his face, his mates couldn't recover him due to heavy battles occuring on the day. Presumably dead, they recovered his body and piled it among others, only to find that he was alive after a twitch. Managed a whole day with his face off 3.) After a week of his alleged death, he finally woke up from his coma and read his own obituary on a Finnish newspaper and immediately wrote a letter to clarify

I've been a military historian for over 50 years and I've noticed that some of the best shooters, Simo Häyhä, Sargent York, Audie Murphy, etc. were farmers or hunters, poor men who had to kill to feed their families before the war. Bullets were expensive, you had to make your shot count. Audie Murphy grew up not far from my Grandpa's farm in Texas. Hunt County, Texas, and were sharecroppers too. My family was a lot like his. Though his father had left the family. I had eight uncles, all Texas farmers in WWII and served all over the world. Uncles Joe, William, Sammy, Kenneth, Bobby, Herman, Elmer, and LC. Four from mom's side, four from Dad's side. Later, Dad was in Korea, I was in Vietnam. (the only female in avionics in my squadron for the entire 4 years, wasn't easy!) But I used that military benefit to be the first on either side of family to get a college degree and of course, in Military History.

Simo Häyhä is so well known, that Japanese have made a Manga inspired by his story. It is called "Valkoinen Noita" (the white witch) and it's entertaining. Of course, one must keep in mind, that this Manga version is very different than the reality. For example, Simo is portrayed as a young woman and she also joined the Continuation War, which the real Simo never did (due to his injuries. Althought, he did volunteer, but was refused). But, anyway, Simo Häyhä really was brave and talented and should allways be remembered.

@rastarn 3 жыл бұрын

I highly recommend you read Tapio Saarelainen's 2016 biography of Simo, "The White Sniper". An enthralling read that both tells the story of Simo, and insightfully explains the tactics that allowed the tiny Finnish force to hold back the Soviet onslaught.
