This Farmer's Snow Trick Killed 505 Soviet Soldiers in 98 Days

Описание: Discover the incredible true stories of Simo Häyhä, famously known as the White Death, a legendary figure in military history. This video recounts his extraordinary actions during the winter war, highlighting one of the most compelling ww2 stories. Learn about his tactical brilliance and resilience in extreme conditions.

It's March 6th, 1940, and the temperature is -43°F. Simo Häyhä has been lying motionless in a snow trench for seven hours.

Through iron sights (no scope, never a scope), he's watching a Soviet position 450 meters away. This will be kill number 505.

The Soviets know there's a Finnish sniper in the Kollaa sector averaging 5.1 kills per day. Height: 5'3". They've sent 12 trained counter-snipers to eliminate him. All 12 are dead.

What Häyhä doesn't know: in four minutes, a Soviet sniper 180 meters away will fire an explosive bullet directly into his face.

By every measure, he should be dead by sunset. He won't die. He'll wake from an 11-day coma the same day the peace treaty is signed, survive 26 facial reconstruction surgeries, live another 62 years, and when asked how he became history's deadliest sniper, give a one-word answer: "Practice."

This is the story of White Death—the farmer who became the Soviet Union's worst nightmare.

🎖️ WHY HE WAS UNSTOPPABLE:
Standard Soviet sniper doctrine relied on scoped rifles and two-man teams. Häyhä operated alone with iron sights in conditions where most snipers couldn't function. The video reveals the specific techniques that made him invisible to 12 trained Soviet counter-snipers—and how one simple method kept him alive for 98 days in frozen hell.
