The Deadliest Sniper In History, Simo Hayha

The Deadliest Sniper In History, Simo Hayha

Simo Häyhä was a Finnish farmer born in the 1900’s, known around his village for
his wickedly sharp aim with a hunting rifle.

In 1939, his life was turned upside down when Stalin and The Red Army invaded
Finland.

Rushed to the front, his kill-count quickly rose.

His fellow Finns nicknamed him The Magic Sniper, but to the Russians he was
Belaya Smert, The White Death.

In the freezing darkness, with a mouthful of snow to conceal his breath, The
White Death lay waiting. Entire Russian platoons would come to a standstill,
none wanting to be the next to fall into the crosshairs…

Tune in for the story of Finland’s national hero, Simo Häyhä!
