Simo Häyhä: The Sniper Who Killed 500+ Soviets Without a Scope

Описание: In the frozen forests of Finland during the Winter War of 1939–1940, a small, quiet farmer in a white camouflage suit became the most feared man on the battlefield.
The Soviets called him Belaya Smert — The White Death.
His real name was Simo Häyhä, and in just 100 days, he became the deadliest sniper in military history — over 500 confirmed kills, all using only iron sights.

This is the incredible true story of the humble Finnish farmer who became a ghost in the snow… and a legend that lives to this day.

Discover how Häyhä’s near-superhuman patience, battlefield instincts, cold-weather tactics, and unmatched marksmanship helped a tiny nation stand against Stalin’s vast Red Army. From his early life as a hunter, to the brutal battles at Kollaa, to the explosive bullet wound that should’ve killed him — this is the full journey of the man the Soviets feared more than entire divisions.

If you enjoy forgotten battles, untold legends, and deep-dive WW2 storytelling, this is a must-watch.
